Cabaret Companion by Linh
The Adelaide
Cabaret Festival has a younger sister festival called the Cabaret Fringe, where
anything goes anywhere! This independent arts festival is a creative brainchild
of brothers Paul and Adam Boylon with Jay Robinson in 2008, and has expanded to
become a companion cabaret alternative to the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
The cabaret
culture and music is celebrated in the same way with a diverse array of artists
performing in Adelaide during June but there are points of difference. Firstly,
most of the venues for Cabaret Fringe are smaller and informal, therefore
enhancing the intimacy and participation experience for the performers and
audiences. Secondly, the Cabaret Fringe is more risqué and more than cliché
with their performances that push the boundaries of musical conventions, also
using music and song to comment on social/political issues in a tongue-in-cheek
manner.
The Adelaide
Cabaret Fringe has more than thirty cabaret acts throughout June with local and
national artists providing more than burlesque in bow ties and black hats. This
year’s programme has some unexpected surprises that do not fit the usual mould
of cabaret as it is the eclectic nature of cabaret that encourages variety and
something different.
The local
artists at Cabaret Fringe include Megan Doherty in Dirty Thirty, Zephyr
Quartet, Jamie Jewell as Candy Chambers in 50 Forever and Hew Parham in
Giovanni’s Buono Voyago Fiesta. Interstate artists include Joanne Sutton in
Fill Her Up, Selina Jenkins as Beau Heartbreaker and Amy Bodossian in Salvation
Amy.
There is
something different to tempt everyone at the 2014 Adelaide Cabaret Fringe
Festival and is certain to put a smile on your face and keep it there after the
show ends.
