Improvention - Triple Bill – The Blob + This Scene Was About + A Bouffon Christma
It’s nearly Christmas and this is a ‘feel good’ triple bill of the world’s best theatrical improvisers, supported by improvising actors from all over Australia engaging in a magical group hug. Watch one, two, or all three shows, on the one ticket.
7:30pm - The Blob by Jhi Rayner (AUS)
Returning to direct again, after wide acclaim for his 2023 production TOME at Canberra International Improv Festival, Jhi Rayner brings Artaud-inspired theatre to the world of improvisation, using actor-generated walls of soundscape that morph into physical tableaus that themselves inspire scenes that are verbally painted for the ensemble. Feel the surreals in this emotionally-driven, relationship-focussed theatre that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of laughter to drama to visual and auditory delight, and land you safely back in your seat.
8:25pm – This Scene Was About directed by Tim Orr (USA)
One of the most internationally inspired show formats of the festival, this concept was created by Milanese improviser Fabio Maccioni, when he was a guest in Colombia, and now directed in Australia by and American, who is one of the most talked about improv instructors on the planet. And it’s going to be so nice, because it’s cast from his intensive workshop this week, where students learned, “emotional mirroring” and “reading scenes as a gift” whilst playing “characters who actually like each other”.
9:20pm – A Bouffon Christmas directed Daniel Orrantia Gomez (COL)
In possibly the most anticipated show of this festival, you will laugh yourself senseless and sometimes be aghast at the incredibly exaggerated theatrical style of Bouffon, from a physical theatre/clown master we’ve been trying to get to this event for years! See what happens to the comparative Christmas traditions of both Colombia and Australia, as Daniel and his ensemble cast transform it into something you never imagined either theatre or Christmas could ever be like.
Is it Christmas yet?! This triple bill is like a whole festival in one night….., but have a look and see what Canberra International Festival has on Thursday….., and Friday…., and Sunday, right here at REP, (or Wednesday’s incredible Improvision Song Contest at Canberra Playhouse, or any night late at Smith’s Alternative)
