 'Carmen Funebre' by Teatr Biuro Podrozy - Poland |
 |
| Date: 26th March 08 |
| Time: 7.30 pm |
| Venue: Jaleb Chowk, Amber Fort |
TBP was founded in 1988 by Pawel Szkotak, and has consistently created sensational performances that are a combination of physical theatre and performances on high stilts.
Elaborate costumes, non-verbal expression and stunning music create a language all of its own that is easily accessible to all. Inspired from the horrors in Bosnia, and Poland’s own history, ‘Carmen Funebre’ is a chilling and dramatic indictment of the de-humanization of ordinary citizens.
In 1995 Teatr Biuro Podrozy participated with Carmen in the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, where it won both the prestigious Fringe First and the Critics Award. In 1996 the company won the Hamada Award at the Edinburgh Festival.

From performing to an estimated audience of 200,000 on Australia Day 1999 to a dance with the Dayaks in a jungle clearing in central Borneo, there is no band in the world with the experience of Sirocco. They reflect the creativity, popularity, charm and humor (and a touch of larrikinism) that is the spirit of modern Australia. Their instruments range from Middle Eastern flutes to Irish drums to modern synthesizers. Their performances take their audience on a voyage around the world on a magic carpet wove from their exotic instruments. Just like modern Australia, they distill the best from the cultures that make up our country and produce a unique Australian style.
Their concerts take them overseas representing the modern Australia. Countries like Pakistan, USA, Indonesia, Nepal, India, Philippines, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, the Russian Far East, Sri Lanka and Singapore. In Australia they have composed music and performed in distinctly Australian environments such as the Macquarie Marshes, Cape Byron, Narracourte Caves and the Warrumbungles.
In collaboration with DFAT, Australian Government.
