Wednesday 6 - Sunday 24 March, 2013
NEW ZEALAND'S OWN SPIEGELTENT IN AOTEA SQUARE
From 6-24 March, groovers and shakers are invited
to swing along to Auckland Arts Festival's Festival Club which will
take up residence in the Festival Garden in Aotea Square for the
entire Festival. Audiences can tap into the good-time vibe in New
Zealand's very own spiegeltent and experience a line up of superb
performers from the international circuit, including cult cabaret
Cantina, The Magnets, Stochelo Rosenberg Trio, Novalima and
LA33.
Both before the show and after the final encore,
audiences are welcome to linger in the Festival Garden and soak up
the pre and post show buzz...
CANTINA (AUSTRALIA)
The darkly seductive Cantina offers breathtaking
acrobatics, optical illusion, titillating tightrope, intimate
encounters and high, high heels. Set in a 1930s underground
circus-cabaret, Cantina blurs reality and fantasy with in-your-face
vaudeville, faded glamour, cocktails and suspense, all topped off
with a madcap live soundtrack performed on antiquated instruments.
Co-created with six highly-skilled circus and physical theatre
performers from Circus Oz, Acrobat, Tom Tom Crew, Circa and Circus
Cirkor, and set amid a hazy blur of reality and fantasy, in Cantina
the fine line between pleasure and pain is never quite clear.
THE MAGNETS (GREAT BRITAIN)
Hot from crazy-good tours in India and Australia,
and a cluster of five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe, must-see ultra a capella stars, The Magnets, will bring it
to the Festival Club. Making all their music with their voices
alone, including the drums of beat-boxer Andy Frost and the richly
textured bass of Fraser Collins, The Magnets are much-admired for
their exciting arrangements that radically restyle and subvert
popular songs from artists as diverse as Kraftwerk, Beyoncé, Led
Zeppelin, Lady Gaga and Tears for Fears. They will also do a
special New Zealand set.
STOCHELO ROSENBERG TRIO (THE NETHERLANDS)
When Stochelo Rosenberg picks up his guitar, you
would swear he's channelling the Belgian jazz master, Django
Reinhardt. With brother Mozes and classically-trained, gypsy
jazz-lovin' Joel Locher, The Stochelo Rosenberg Trio strum up a
veritable storm of jazz, hot-club and gypsy guitar. Together this
exciting trio offers a crossfire of unbelievable solos,
breathtaking rhythms and constant invention.
NOVALIMA (PERU)
Afro-Peruvian ensemble Novalima's new world blend
of dub, reggae, electronica and Latin beats has mesmerised
audiences the world over. Their latest album, Karimba, topped
iTunes' world-music chart and made Billboard's world-music Top 10.
Novalima promises to have Festival Club-goers dancing in the
aisles.
LA -33 (COLOMBIA)
LA-33s urban, gritty dance music complete with
storming horn section has had crowds across the globe stampeding
the dance floor. The band mixes retro salsa dura (hard salsa) with
classic cumbrai, ska, Latin jazz and old school New York
Boogaloo.
Also in the Festival Garden will be a special
programme of activities on Family Day, Sunday 24 March. Visit
aaf.co.nz in February 2013 for entertainment updates at the
Festival Garden and Club.
