BANG BANG

Murder, melodrama and Wes Anderson combine in this theatrical dance doubleheader.

‘Act 2, Scenes 1-4’

Watch the conflict unfold in this visually striking crime caper inspired by Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Act 2, Scenes 1-4 is a mischievous take on Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel by Pina Bausch fellow Scott Elstermann. A visually striking crime caper, we are swept into a world of saturated colour, playful movement and sinister murder. Gunshots at a ball, evil stepmothers and town gossip feed into a melodrama of three Australian women doing what they had to do.

‘Love You, Stranger’

Witness the consequences for three women brought to trial for murder.

Love You, Stranger is performed by a trio of dancers, each representing a woman from Australia’s history that was tried for murder in the name of love. Consisting of solos and ensemble dancing, the work witnesses the consequences for three women brought to trial for murder. It takes us into a world where the women’s fates are played out through gossip and judgment the consequences they face, and the similarities across their stories.
