THE Jetty Memorial Theatre is bursting with bold, unforgettable performances in June, from boundary-breaking contemporary dance to hilarious theatrical comedy and world-class stand-up.
Kicking off on Tuesday 5 June, New Zealand’s anarchic troupe A Slightly Isolated Dog unleashes “The Trojan War”.
Five flamboyant “French” performers guide the audience through a chaotic retelling of Homer’s Iliad, complete with twisted pop songs, wild costume changes and outrageous audience interaction.
Think Monty Python meets The Mighty Boosh, it’s history as you’ve never seen it before. .
Later that week, on Saturday 7 June and Sunday 8 June, the stage transforms into a subterranean realm as Guts Dance returns with “SUB”, the follow-up to the 2020 hit, the Perception Experiment.
The Alice Springs/Mparntwe-based dance company have created a futuristic underworld where humanity has fled beneath the surface, wet collides with dry, heat with cold, fragility with strength, as dancers navigate shifting terrain, strewn with discarded relics and precious minerals.
SUB fuses improvised movement, sound art, sculptural objects and cinematic lighting to ask what we truly treasure when everything familiar is stripped away.
With a two-for-one ticket special you can bring a friend for free and dive into this powerful performance together.
Finally, over two giggle-filled evenings on Thursday 26 June and Friday 27June, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow rolls into Coffs Harbour for its 27th year running.
This tour’s hand-picked squad of festival legends; Justin Hamilton, Ben Kochan, Bronwyn Kuss, Nick Schuller and Ting Lim will hit the stage to deliver a comedy festival’s worth of belly laughs.
