Manifesto

Wednesday, September 14 – Saturday, September 17, 2022 World Premiere SeasonImmerse yourself in Manifesto, an explosive ‘tattoo to optimism’ with electrifying dancing and huge, raw sound. Mass drumming and dance have historically represented military might — Manifesto flips antiquity on its head to bring us a rally cry to solidarity.Situated on a grand elevated set reminiscent of Busby Berkley, nine explosive drummers encircle nine astonishing dancers.Starting with a bang, the show becomes more complex and thrilling as it builds towards a wildly loud and powerfully danced crescendo. Created in collaboration with internationally renowned audio-visual artist and composer Robin Fox and a superb team of designers and performers.Drums and dance. What a combo. You'll be on the edge of your seat, heart beating in time with the driving power of nine drum kits, accompanied by a stunning visceral ensemble performance that speaks to revelry and artistry, and an immense passion for both.Venue: Playhouse Venue: Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), South Brisbane Venue address: Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Cnr Melbourne and Grey Street, South Brisbane Parent event: Brisbane Festival Event type: Festivals, Music, Performing arts Cost: $45 + Booking fee Age: Suitable for ages 10+ Bookings: Bookings required via Brisbane Festival website.  Bookings required: Yes
