Absolute Pearl / Strange Fruit / Australia
Director: Phillip Gleeson


Proslavljena australska kazališna skupina Strange Fruit prepoznata je po jedinstvenom stilu kojim oduševljava publiku širom svijeta. Lepršavo lebdeći na vrhu 5 metarskih motki grupa donosi uzvišenu predstavu kojom objedinjuje ples i akrobaciju stvarajući nov i jedinstven kazališni izraz .
Svoj rad grupa je predstavila u 46 zemalja i na preko 350 međunarodnih festivala, donoseći repertoar kojim pronose zanosnu ljepotu umjetničke poruke ispričanu na suptilnom i univerzalnom jeziku.

Njihova najnovija produkcija Absolute Pearl odvodi rad grupe na novu razinu. Za izvedbu ove vizualno atraktivne i uzbudljive predstave angažirani su neki od najistaknutijih melburnških koreografa i plesača. Uz izvornu glazbu skladatelja Dean Linguey-a, Absolute Pearl omogućuje publici uspinjanje do dimenzije snova koja nadilazi granice smrtnosti. Vječni viroviti nebeski karneval oplemenjen pjesničkom začudnošću, Absolute Pearl je nježna poruka svijetu koji je počeo gubiti smisao za romansu.

Predstava je premijerno prikazana u Melbourne-u, u svibnju 2007 i od tada je izvedena u Nizozemskoj, Londonu, New York-u, Adelaide-u i Irskoj.

Australia's Strange Fruit is a much celebrated performance company that creates and performs a unique style of work for audiences worldwide. Using 5 metre flexible poles, the performers bend and sway to impossible angles combining elements of theatre, dance and circus to create an original style of performance. Having presented their work in 46 countries and at over 350 international festivals, the company's repertoire has a universal appeal and is accessible to all cultures and ages.

Strange Fruit's newest show Absolute Pearl, takes the company's work to a new level, using some of Melbourne's foremost choreographers and dancers to execute a visually charged and emotionally evocative piece.


A contemplation celebrating the passage from this earthly realm to the next, Absolute Pearl allows the audience to ascend to a dreamlike dimension that transcends the bounds of mortality. An eternal, swirling carnival of the air filled with sublime poetic wonder. With original music by Dean Linguey, the show revels in capturing the oblique moments when memory just escapes you.


Absolute Pearl premiered in Melbourne in May 2007 and has since been performed in The Netherlands, London, New York, Adelaide, & Ireland.
