Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Season must end 12 March

KRONOS: Five Decades
Final Australian tour
Classical music hasn’t sounded the same since Kronos Quartet emerged 50 years ago. One of the most celebrated and influential musical groups of our time, they have pursued a singular vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience.
Join us to celebrate Kronos Quartet’s 50th anniversary and their final ever Australian tour with a very special night of music in the Festival Theatre this coming long weekend.
Opening This Week
Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk]
Marrugeku
Described as “exquisite and unmissable” (ArtsHub) and “an astonishing work” (Sydney Morning Herald), Marrugeku’s Jurrungu Ngan-ga is an urgent work by one of our nation’s most innovative dance theatre companies that confronts Australia’s shameful fixation with incarceration.
A mesmerising blend of movement, music, soundscape, spoken word and projection moves Jurrungu Ngan-ga deftly between horrific surrealism, truth-telling and stunning physicality.
Grey Rock
Remote Theater Project / Written and directed by Amir Nizar Zuabi
The dreams and desires that capture our imagination are often difficult for others to understand. Palestinian playwright and director Amir Nizar Zuabi, whose play Azza delighted audiences at the 2018 Festival, mines this rich territory in his story of Yusuf – an ordinary man in a present-day village in the West Bank who is driven by an extraordinary dream.
Last Chance
There are only a handful of tickets now remaining across all sessions of the following two shows this weekend. Be quick and good luck!

Poème: Chamber Landscapes
Curated by Paavali Jumppanen. Seven brilliantly conceived programs and two talks that explore the relationship between music and text. 10-12 March.
