World Theatre Festival 2011
Embracing the new, the risky and the independent from around the world, World Theatre Festival (WTF) is set to seriously shake up the face of theatre in Australia.

WTF offers international and national performance, a ‘scratch’ series of brand new Australian works still in development, in addition to a series of masterclasses and forums.

PERFORMANCES INCLUDE:
APOLLO 13: Mission Control
Hackman (NZL)
As three astronauts trapped 200,000 miles from earth fight for their lives, audience members seated in ‘Mission Control' must make the critical decisions necessary to bring the heroes safely home.

Born in a Taxi and The Public Floor Project (AUS)
Acclaimed physical theatre company, Born in a Taxi, joins forces with a dynamic team of independent artists to bring you five nights of absurd and compelling performance.

Good Cop Bad Cop
Kassys (NED)
A sharp and humorous comment on how our darkest needs are being exploited by the entertainment industry; the fear of being ordinary and our urge for attention.

Peppered with large doses of pitch-black comedy, Diciembre takes place on Christmas Eve 2014 in Santiago, a city beseiged by Peruvian forces.

SCRATCH WORKS (works-in-progress):
The Rat Trap
Polytoxic (QLD)
A lush showcase of six charismatic performers, virtuosos of dance, theatre and aerials, playing in a Polytoxic world of cultural-bending and political bite. Emotionally shameless physicality.

Black Queen Black King
