Let the games begin! Impro Melbourne’s Theatresports™ season is a high energy, no holds-barred sporting theatrical combo that everyone will enjoy.
A coveted place in the Grand Final is up for grabs and the competition is fierce, forcing teams of improvisors to run all kinds of risks in the pursuit of impro glory.
Stories take unexpected turns. Drama flips to comedy. A throwaway line makes you think. Over the course of the evening three judges score the matches but in the special Danish round it’s the audience who decide the winners.
It’s a thrilling, hilarious, family friendly night out. Kids will love it and so will Nana. Your workmates and the uni friends you haven’t seen for ages will love it too. Booing and cheering in a theatre? It must be Theatresports.™
Red Line Productions presents the World Premiere of
DEGENERATE ART
Written & Directed by Toby Schmitz
at Sydney’s Old Fitz Theatre from October 17
“All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.”
- Oscar Wilde
A twice-rejected art school applicant rises to political power through the use of charm, cunning and violence. From there, he declares merciless war on ‘cultural disintegration’, ordering an aesthetic purge of the entartete Künstler - the ‘degenerate artists’ - and their work.
As a result, between 1933 and 1945 one fifth of all artworks in Europe - valued at billions of dollars - are looted by, or have their sale coerced by, the Nazis.
Acclaimed actor, director and playwright Toby Schmitz returns to his stomping ground, the Old Fitz Theatre, with an incredible ensemble cast of Septimus Caton (This Much Is True), Guy Edmonds (The Moodys, House Husbands), Julian Garner (Killing Ground, Top Of The Lake), Anthony Gooley (Calamity Jane, Assassins), Henry Nixon (The Kettering Incident, Rake), Megan O’Connell (Cleverman, Home & Away) and Rupert Reid (Sunshine, The Village Bike) to breathe life into the story of what happens when a consummate performer - surrounded by yes men - takes it upon himself to shape the cultural future of a nation.
