This man is from She Dances With Fate at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – part flamenco, hip-hop, opera, tango, shamans, dubstep – and great makeup.
I love the contrast between the business suit and tie and the makeup.
It’s funny how the glasses can go either way.
I guess Mr Smith in The Matrix has placed his stamp on them, but somehow they look just as renegade as the warpaint.
She Dances With Fate is a production by Two Pentacles, from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Actors from Lovers’ Vows hamming it up on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh today for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
In Jane Austen’s novel Mansfield Park there is a part where the younger characters, left to their own devices by the absence of the master of the house, decide to put on Elizabeth Inchbald’s play Lovers’ Vows.
Some of the characters object, believing that Sir Thomas would disapprove of the subject matter of the play, which includes adultery. But they decide to go ahead, drawn in by the opportunity to flirt and show their affections.
Then Sir Thomas unexpectedly arrives home in the middle of a rehearsal…
Charlotte Productions present Lovers’ Vows – Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park re-imagined for the stage.
‘Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.’ In chapter 14 of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, the bored young people amuse themselves with some amateur dramatics. Join us as we look behind the curtain of the rehearsals; with Sir Thomas away, a play to perform, and so many charming gentlemen in the house, the strict rules of society might not be quite so easy to maintain.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival starts tomorrow and runs for most of this month.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society website says that last year,
…the Fringe enjoyed a record-breaking 2,695 different shows staging 42,096 performances in 279 venues by 22,457 performers from over 47 countries..
To kick off this year’s festival, some of the theatre companies were out on the street hamming it up for passers by and handing out flyers.
In keeping with previous years, we aim for the visually appealing.
So in good Fringe style we start coverage with a low key, restrained image of Plato, as played by Sam Ereira, a cast member in the DEM Productions production of A Theory Of Justice.
We shall be posting regularly from the Fringe – with photos – so look out for more articles.
