Description
NORPA, one of Australia’s leading regionally based theatre companies, may have lost their Lismore performing arts centre in the devastating floods but it hasn’t stopped the company from creating something beautiful, powerful and joyous with its new major work Love for One Night. NORPA are no strangers to delighting audiences by staging spectacular shows in interesting places - they have performed sell-out shows on the platform of an abandoned train station (Railway Wonderland), in a country hall (Dreamland). Long time collaborators director Julian Louis and writer Janis Balodis are now taking audiences to The Eltham Hotel, a majestic old watering hole in the Byron hinterland that has been a meeting place for more than 100 years.In Love for One Night a series of brief encounters are told through story, dance and song with a live band scoring all the action. The Eltham Hotel itself becomes both set and character with live videography projected onto its façade and the audience taking it all in from tiered theatre seating constructed in front of the hotel.
