St Kilda Tales: A Performance Rave
1 - 10 MAY | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
by raimondo cortese
St Kilda Tales was first presented by Ranters Theatre at the Malthouse in 2001 as part of the Centenary of Federation Festival. It was inspired by the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, where many original company members lived. Brisbane Music Festival and Victorian Theatre Company now present the play in a 2025 context. Musicians and cast play together in an urban ritual of multi-faceted choreography, music and character study.
The characters come from all walks of life. They engage in seemingly chance-like encounters with each other, that sometimes eventuate into something more, and sometimes not.
This is Victorian Theatre Company's second collaboration with Brisbane Music Festival, after Enoch Arden - a film/performance hybrid that debuted in 2021 to critical acclaim.
