Overview

Get up close and personal in Rushcutters Bay with some theatre stripped down to the basics. Six solo performances, written and directed by both established and up and coming Sydney artists, will be taking place each night at the BARE BOARDS BRAVE HEART festival at subtlenuance. The pieces use themes as diverse as Justin Bieber and eroticism, Celtic lore, sexuality, human courtship rituals and expressing our feelings through art, as they tackle the human condition and a variety of other social conundrums. Each piece will offer a unique perspective or line of investigation through which to explore personal expression and the meaning of things in general.

subtlenuance was founded by Danieli Georgi and Paul Gilchrist in 2008, both of whom are writers and directors in their own right, and have received praise for much of their work in and around Sydney. Sharing a love of unconventional theatre, and indeed for unconventional performance spaces, the pair previously founded Thrown Together Theatre, experimenting with pop-up theatre in non-traditional venues and unusual locations. Their latest offering promises to be innovative, challenging and inspiring.
