IN THE BEGINNING . . . THE ODD TESTAMENT
presented by Short Attention Span
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Beginning . . . The Odd Testament is a highly entertaining and
very funny three person physical theatre/ cabaret.
Inspired by some stories from the Old Testament, it is the compelling
story of two tragic-comic characters; homeless, isolated, displaced and
impoverished, living in an indeterminate time and place. The work is a
unique combination of theatrical styles ? from Brechtian songs to
bouffon clowning ? telling the story of these two imperfect souls and
their 'biblical' journey, coupled with the perfection of some of the
greatest literature ever set down.
From the creators of the incredibly popular Hamlet in One Hour, (winner
of the Melbourne Fringe Theatre award) and Cabaret Tingel Tangel,
(winner of the Green Room award for Best Cabaret). Performed by Alice
Carter, Krisztian Bagin & Tania Kyriakou, Accompanied by Steven Lindsay
Directed by John Bolton

THE DIVINE LOTUS - FILM SCREENING
presented by the Buoyancy Foundation
-----------------------------------------------------------
The lotus flower is an important symbol in the Buddhist religion, which
signifies purity as well as birth, beauty and transcendence. Though its
roots are anchored in muddy waters, this beautiful still flower blooms
and thrives. For us, it embodies the growth and strength of many young
Vietnamese women who are undergoing resettlement and reintegration into
their new life and culture as Australians.
"The Divine Lotus," is a 26-min documentary based on the life of Linh:
a young Vietnamese woman and her journey through the drug culture over
the past 7 years. This provides Linh with a platform to express her
insights into how her commitment to heroin has affected her life and
that of others without sensationalism and manipulation. Moreover, it
puts Linh into context as a member of our community- she is someoneís
daughter, mother and sister - someone who still has the possibility to
"bloom" as a person rather than as a "refuse of society."
