The Art of Disruption

The Art of Disruption

Starts: Thursday, 30 May 2024
Ends: Saturday, 01 June 2024
Truth meets imagination on a journey like no other in Rebus Theatre's new original work by disabled actors and actors with mental health challenges. Step behind the curtain and into the tumultuous world of activist theatre, where the struggles of everyday life collide with the magic of storytelling. Join in for an unforgettable journey into the heart of the theatre, where the show must go on, no matter what. Amidst the chaos of rehearsals and last-minute adjustments, a different kind of drama unfolds. A troupe of activist actors grapple with unexpected obstacles and the spectre of corporate interference, testing their leadership and resolve. As they strive to bring their vision to life, a fantastical tale of dragons, the challenges they face are not confined to the stage alone. True magic lies not in spells and sorcery, but in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of effective leadership. Will the forces of creativity and resilience triumph over adversity, or will the weight of reality prove too great to bear? The first Flair program show The Beauty Thief contributed to Rebus winning a Canberra Critics Circle Award for Theatre in 2021 and Utopiate, in 2022 received rave reviews. ‘Flair’ is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. Rebus is also supported by Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres and the ACT Government.
