This is one you don't want to miss.
Following acclaimed seasons at RISING, Adelaide Festival, Perth Festival and venues across Australia, POV explores the boundaries between theatre and film, fiction and reality, performer and participant. For audiences, no two performances will be the same.
A KID WITH A CAMERA. TWO ADULTS. NO REHEARSAL.
Enter the mind’s eye of Bub, an 11-year-old girl who’s obsessed with documentary filmmaking. In the aftermath of a family breakdown, she turns to dramatised re-enactments to try to figure out what happened.
In each performance of this latest docudrama experiment from re:group performance collective, two new, unrehearsed adult actors join a young performer onstage. As she guides them to re-enact her personal experiences, these brave (or foolhardy) performers discover the story on the night, negotiating difficult questions about parenting, agency, mental health and how we speak to children.
Geelong performers Sophia Katos and Natalie O’Donnell along with Charles Purcell and Ana Corbett will take part across the season, stepping into the production’s unique unrehearsed format alongside Yuna Ahn and Grace Tione – each portraying the child lead on different nights.
Bub wants to get to the bottom of her mum’s erratic behaviour. Can these two adults answer the tough questions of a child?
After indie flick (Coil) and sci-fi (UFO), POV is re:group's playful, urgent and live version of a documentary, blurring the lines between personal history, performance and human connection.
