HUB
ADELAIDE FESTIVAL
Throughout much of the festival,
RocKwiz host Julia Zemiro will hold court
inside the Famous Spiegeltent in Elder
Park, where she will interview secret
musical guests. “We’ll be interviewing a
different musician every night, hearing
them play... two songs that infl uenced them,
three of their own songs and a mystery song,”
explains Zemiro.
“In this new show, Julia will lead the audience
into the inner working life of a performer, why
they do what they do, and what their processes
are,” adds Grabowsky. Julia Zemiro’s Comfort
Zone is on 26–28 February, 3–7 March, and
10–13 March 2010.
Want more? The Spiegeltent will also feature
the return of burlesque show La Clique and jazz
band The Necks. Other performances not to
be missed include Shanghai Beauty by China’s
Jin Xing Dance Theatre, and Good Morning Mr
Gershwin, a fusion of video technology, hip-hop
moves and classic George Gershwin songs by
France’s Montalvo-Hervieu Company.

ONE FOR THE FAMILY:
CIRCUS OZ
Th e exhilarating
new show from Circus
Oz opens in a ballroom.
However, in true Circus
Oz style, this elegant scene
soon descends into a manic
comic knockabout cyclone
of absurd acrobatics
and non-stop action.
Expect rubberlimbed
tumbling,
duo juggling, chair
balancing, teeterboard,
hoop diving, group bike and
amazing aerial
rope performances.
Barely Contained is on 24
February–14 March at
Torrens Parade Ground.
