Jonathan holloway, artistic DirectorLogic will get you from a to b. Imagination will take you everywhere. ALBErt EinStEin

Welcome to the rio tinto Education Program for the 2014 Perth international Arts festival.

imagination is at the very heart of our festival. the world’s greatest artists, performance makers and writers have used their formidable imaginations to create works which we have woven together to tell stories, open eyes and transform our view of the world. our audiences use their well nourished imaginations to suspend disbelief and extend understanding of our place in the world and our possibilities for the future.

Creativity and imagination are about harnessing ancient and modern ideas in ways never before dreamed of. Storytelling has been at the heart of theatre for millennia … iPads have been in existence for less than four years, and yet theatre makers like rimini Protokoll are already bringing them together to create innovative performances. our festival is full of moments like this.

teachers and students are some of our most important audiences, so i hope that you will take the time to look through this program, talk with our Education Coordinator, Jemma Gurney, and take full advantage of the art we are bringing. our hope is that it will support you in your ongoing task of unlocking timeless ideas and learning in the most imaginative way possible.

Enjoy your festival.

compagnie chaliwaté

Îlo Directed by sandrine heyraud and sicaire Durieux

in a desert not so far away, the search is on for precious water. With acrobatic spectacle, games of cat and mouse and jubilant dance, endless possibilities unfold en route to the treasured liquid gold.

not a word is uttered. only the bodies have voices. And those bodies bring this wondrous story to life.

fed by the iconic works of great contemporary European theatre artists Marceau and Lecoq, Compagnie Chaliwaté presents the dreamlike Îlo, a rich performance that leads you deep into humanity by way of witty and poetic physical comedy and dance.

Making beautifully sensitive use of the silent art form, Îlo is a production full of joy and folly.

Combining the traditional values of children’s storytelling with interactive adventure and a healthy dash of festive whimsy, The House Where Winter Lives is as close as you’ll ever get to good old-fashioned magic.

While it may be 40 degrees outside, it’s chilly in the forest. Step inside the Winter’s cottage and get cosy. roll gingerbread biscuit dough in the warmth of the kitchen, then push through fresh branches and across flurries of snow on a magical search that brings the outdoors indoors, and ignites your imagination.

immersive theatre makers with a worldwide cult following, Punchdrunk and their Enrichment team have rewritten the theatre rulebook. Surprise and revelation are hallmarks of this production. reminding us that play lies at the heart of all theatre, this is inspirational storytelling for children.

internationally renowned for dramatic live circus, blending jaw-dropping skills with untamed elegance and a subversive edge, nofit State Circus hits Australia for the first time with a knock-out performance under a spectacular big top.

High energy trapeze, tightwire, acrobatics and gravity defying routines are set to a pounding soundtrack performed by a live band – this is the kind of all-consuming and absorbing theatrical experience that can only happen during festival time.

haze choreography by Wang yuanyuan

onto a stark and unlit stage, 18 dancers enter to the low hum of white noise and with this begins Beijing Dance theatre’s resplendent portrayal of human movement and human nature.

A choreographic work of rapturous beauty, Haze channels the tension between China’s complex struggle with centuries-old traditions and its headlong rush into the future. in an entirely original theatrical coup, the piece places dancers on soft and unsteady ground, a cushioned floor that creates both uncertainty and protection. With every step, they are thrown off balance, heightening the dramatic pace of the piece, while enabling a daring breadth of physicality that would have otherwise been impossible.

Radio and Juliet, set entirely to the music of radiohead, is the season centrepiece of Ballet at the Quarry this summer.

Choreographer Edward Clug interprets Shakespeare’s timeless love story within a modern, industrial world, mixing video effects with razor-sharp choreography. it is complemented with two pieces by israeli choreographer itzik Galili – The Sofa featuring music by tom Waits, and the haunting Mono Lisa. Also, a world premiere by Australian Lucas Jervies, Epic Fail, exploring the sometimes notorious, always fascinating and often comical world of the ballroom dance.

An exhilarating evening of ballet under a starry sky.

World-renowned for his hypnotic interpretation of flamenco, israel Galván is a maverick. the traditional elements are there – virtuosic footwork, thumping percussive rhythms and a moody musical accompaniment, but israel Galván brings something all his own in the incredible La Curva. His is a full body phenomenon, a joyous collision of auditory power and experimental movement.

With the exquisite musical accompaniment of pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, percussionist Bobote and vocalist inés Bacán, La Curva is flamenco like you’ve never seen before.

Created for the royal Shakespeare Company, this work by russian director Dmitry Krymov is genre-busting alchemy, and in a reimagining of Shakespeare’s great play he imbues such tenderness, grandeur and spectacle, that the theatre seems swollen with joy.

At the heart of this exuberant production lies a love story, with endless magic whirling all around it … fruit, flowers and brilliant five-metre puppets … a massive ensemble, an opera singer, two acrobats and Venya, the performing dog. Dazzlingly executed and abundant in emotion, this stunning production assures us of Krymov’s position as one of the most original directorial voices of our generation.

this is A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a twist. Krymov creates a wonderfully rich and expansive Shakespearean fantasy, focusing with absolute clarity on the simplicity and beauty of the tale of Pyramus and thisbe.

Crafted with humour, inventiveness and flair, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (As You Like It) is a euphoric interpretation of history’s first great love story. this is spell-binding theatre on an epic scale.

the master of theatre himself, robert Wilson takes to the stage with one of Samuel Beckett’s rarely performed works.

the curtain rises on ‘a late evening in the future.’ An old man sitting alone in his den on his 69th birthday prepares a recording about the past year of his life, as he has done on every birthday since he was a young man. His desk is lit by a single white light, a thundering storm cracks through a constant, chilling silence …

Wilson’s desire to challenge the conventions of the stage has attracted high profile collaborators including Philip Glass, tom Waits and most recently the Berliner Ensemble, whose The Threepenny Opera opened the festival last year. in Krapp’s Last Tape, Wilson steps out of the shadows to take centre stage in this rare and unmissable theatrical event.

in a fitting festival finale we present an epic, interactive musical feast.

What does Perth sound like? What are those quintessential noises that link you to this city? is it the toll of the Bell tower? the laughter of your kids running through the sprinkler? the crash of the sea? in the months leading up to the festival we invite you to send us

your recordings and ideas of our city in sound (see bottom right). from this starting point tod Machover, composer and professor at Mit’s Media Lab (it was his students who were inspired to create Guitar Hero), will craft a symphony tailor-made for Perth, to be played live for the first time by the West Australian Symphony orchestra.

in the first half of the concert hear some of the most dynamic music being written today, from the surprising and sophisticated world of gaming. Games, like films, are underscored by rich symphonic suites which can shift the mood in a moment, sweeping from exultation to sorrow, from fear to victory faster than you can shout Wii.

Uniting the console and the concert hall, WASo perform the live soundtrack to some of the greatest games, which are projected larger than life above them.

Ludovico Einaudi will showcase works from his brand new album In a Time Lapse which, in his signature style, is emotional and adventurous. With the backing of a six-piece band, you will hear echoes of baroque, italian folk and late romantic strings textures, all with a delicate expanse of percussive and electronic detail.

Having topped the itunes classical chart with nine consecutive singles, produced 11 record-breaking albums and composed a string of film scores, including work for the Academy Award winning Black Swan and Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar, Einaudi has transcended genre boundaries to become one of the most successful composers in the world.

A vast net enmeshed with tiny human figures washing against the shoreline is emblematic of Do Ho Suh’s distinguished art that often references architecture and humanity. inspired by personal experience of physical and cultural displacement, his poetic sculptures invite imaginative associations.

this delicate web encourages contemplation of the identity of the individual in today’s global society and while Net-Work might suggest the power of the collective over the individual, it can equally conjure thoughts of migration, refugees and the traversing and trawling of seas.

Do Ho Suh’s work has been widely collected and exhibited throughout the world and comes to Perth for the first time.

By one of the most compelling artists of our time, this work epitomises William Kentridge’s intriguing, multi-disciplinary practice. An all-encompassing installation of videos which combine the magic of theatre, drawing and music with film and animation. Projections of shadow dancers are punctuated by the rhythmic command of metronomes and appearances of the artist himself. Amidst this sits a ‘breathing machine’, a wooden sculpture akin to an accordion pulsing time. the presentation of this Australian exclusive is a collaboration between the artist, AGWA, PiCA and the Perth festival.
