Hosted in Cairns by JUTE Theatre Company

D.I.V.E. Theatre Collective, the award-winning multi-lingual Sunshine Coast-based contemporary theatre company, proudly brings its newest production, Amor, a ground-breaking devised physical theatre spectacle that delves into the intricate nuances of love's enigmatic essence, to Cairns.

Hosted at Bulmba-ja Arts Centre by JUTE Theatre Company, and directed by Cesar Genaro and featuring a multicultural ensemble, Amor promises to be a mesmerising journey into the depths of human emotion.

Amor invites audiences to traverse the delicate interplay between love and its polar opposites. Through a captivating blend of movement, visual poetry, and compelling narratives in three different languages, the production challenges conventional boundaries and offers a thought-provoking exploration of love's complexities.

"Every person holds a love story, and Amor aims to unravel the threads that bind us all together in the collective story of humanity," says Cesar Genaro, the director of the production. "With our unique approach to storytelling and immersive staging, we invite audiences to reflect on their own journeys and contemplate the true essence of love."

Featuring a talented cast from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Bella Wanwei Liu, Mary Eggleston, Megan O’Hare, and Valentina Ayala, Amor promises to deliver a visceral and emotional experience unlike any other. Director Cesar Genaro, along with Creative Producer Priscila da Cunha and D.I.V.E.’s ensemble of devising performing artists, has collaboratively and meticulously crafted a visual and auditory landscape that will leave audiences spellbound.

Shattering traditional theatre settings, Amor will be performed in the intimate confines of the main theatre space of Bulmba-ja Arts Centre. With no stages or seats*, spectators will stand alongside the performers, fully immersed in the unfolding narrative.

Don't miss this extraordinary theatrical event that promises to challenge perceptions and ignite the senses! Join D.I.V.E. Theatre Collective's journey into the heart of love's in-between spaces with Amor.

*upon request, a seat can be placed in the space, but audiences are encouraged to stand, sit and walk around the space during the performance - as the creators intended.
