Sydney Festival will run from 8 - 26 January, 2015 and features hundreds of world class events. The full 2015 program will be announced on 23 October 2014, however visitors are encouraged to book now to take advantage of great value travel packages and avoid disappointment.
James Thierrée has taken on the roles of director, choreographer and set designer for Tabac Rouge, and has pushed the boundaries of dance, contemporary circus and theatre to deliver a performance that is complemented by his mother, Victoria Thierrée’s, costume design and a dynamic soundtrack that ranges from Matthieu Chedid to Vivaldi.
“It’s very mysterious to me this show. I went into the undergrounds of my artistic desire. It’s a show about desire, power, systems and mechanisms of society, and of how people organise themselves. It was a cross road for me after Raoul, my last piece which was a solo piece. Tabac Rouge was my attempt at trying a different angle which was this relationship to dance. It was about dance and theatre,” Mr Thierrée said.
Sydney Festival Director, Lieven Bertels, was enthralled with Tabac Rouge when he first saw the performance describing it as “a feast of visual poetry”.
“In his largest work to date, James Thierrée not only shines in the lead role but also demonstrates his skills as a choreographer. After the success of Vivienne Westwood’s fashion opera Semele Walk (2013) and Sasha Waltz’s choreographed version of Dido and Aeneas (2014), Sydney Festival is proud to present James Thierrée’s new masterpiece as another Australian exclusive for a season that will encompass our whole Festival period.”
Tabac Rouge will be presented at the Sydney Theatre at Walsh Bay from 7-23 January, 2015. For more information please visit www.sydneyfestival.org.au
