Strange Fruit set to "Swoon!" at the Kochi Performing Arts Festival 2010
3 November 2010
The Australian performance company "Strange Fruit" is coming to celebrate the 17th Anniversary of The Museum of Art, Kochi on November 3.
Since forming in 1994, Strange Fruit has established itself as one of Australia’s iconic outdoor theatre companies, having performed at over 450 international festivals and events, in over 50 countries, on 6 continents, and to well over 5 million people.
Strange Fruit’s signature is its remarkable performance style fusing theatre, dance and circus together upon five-meter-long flexible poles. The performers bend and sway to impossible angles, creating a unique style of performance that is sure to delight audiences.
"Swoon!" tells the timeless romantic story of boy meets girl as a comic aerial spectacle. In this 20-minute performance, four daredevils dance and flirt their way through a lighthearted look at love, loss, jealousy and joy.
Set to an eclectic soundtrack ranging from Mozart to Swing, "Swoon!" is a lively and spirited treat for all ages. It premiered in Japan in 1999 winning Second Prize at the Shizuoka Daidogei World Cup that year and again in 2000.
