Shaun Parker THIS SHOW IS ABOUT PEOPLE
This Show Is About People is a daring music-theatre-dance collaboration between dancer-choreographer and counter-tenor Shaun Parker and the renowned musicians and vocalists Mara and Llew Kiek. In the theatrical production the audience observes a group of strangers found in a transit lounge who are compelled to question their belief systems and the fundamental aspects of humanity. Robust, high-impact dance is layered with intricate gesture and fused with a sensitive array of live music. Drawing surprising connections between experiences both intense and peaceful, vigorous and gentle, This Show Is About People shows us how oursense of fun and capacity for joy depends as much on other people as on ourselves. This Show Is About People is music, dance and theatre at it's most arresting and world premiered at the Melbourne International Festival 2007 and the Sydney Festival 2008.
The other worldly soundtrack produced by CODA's Nick Wales and Mara & Llew Kiek features Bulgarian and medieval music and shepherds them into a chillingly contemporary setting to express the depth and complexity of emotional and spritual ideas broached in This Show Is About People.
"An intricate and expressive work manipulated by music and machinery... sensuous and hard-edged... dangerous and daring" (Sydney Morning Herald)
"Innovative and energetic, musical directors Mara and Llew Kiek have assembled a breathtaking array of talent. The unexpected combination of influences and mediums presented in this work create an irrepressible sense of fun, yet with a prickly undertone." (Daily Telegraph)
Shaun Parker This Show Is About People (SIL016) is out on Silent Recordings through Vitamin. Listen to tracks from the album in this month's edition of Undercover Radio here.
