Cargo Club
Entertaining cabaret in eight languages.
Overview
Emotional luggage, the cargo of life, a metaphorical suitcase full of feelings: whatever you want to call it, we all have baggage. Yep, every single one of us. And, at some point, we all share the stories that go with it. That's what Cargo Club — Transcultural Underground for Thoroughly Good Social Intercourse is all about.
At the cultural cabaret gracing the Metro Arts stage from January 31 to February 18, a group of performers from the Centre for Australasian Theatre in Cairns and DarahRouge in West Java, Indonesia will unpack the tales they carry with them. In doing so, they'll not only provide a lively addition to the BrisAsia 2017 program. They'll also offer up a blend of styles and sentiments in more ways than one.
Here, tunes, words and ancient rituals combine. Live art, performance and technology does too. Want more? How about villages and cities, and eight different languages? They all come together as the diverse group contemplates the intergenerational impacts of colonisation, migration and globalisation in their first production as 2017's artists-in-residence. And while they're doing that, you can also snack and drink while you watch, listen and experience their efforts, with a bar located inside the theatre.
