The leafy
environs of inner city oasis, Myers Park, will again play host to Auckland Fringe Festival. In fact, the park is
the venue of choice for a preview of the myriad of performances, installations,
screenings and workshops scheduled for the 2013 event which kicks off on 16
February. With the festival providing a
platform for artists with a bent toward innovation and freedom of expression,
audiences can expect to be simultaneously stimulated, challenged and awed by an
eclectic agenda of events.
Watch out
for newcomers Three Queen’s later in the programme with their production of ‘Darling Today We’re
Going to Die’. A bold mix of theatre, dance and song, it explores the strains
of personal relationships juxtaposed against the looming catastrophe of the end
of the world. The work is a combined effort from trio Lewis Gregory, Lana
Mackintosh and Lucia Farron-Diamantis (pictured below) who each bring to their
newly-formed company interchangeable skills of acting, directing, playwriting
and producing.
Other
performances festival goers can look forward to range from cabaret to opera, and
interactive exhibition to kinetic sculpture. www.aucklandfringe.org.nz
