What a treat for the senses!
Invisible Cities directed by Leo Warner is a story of how cities aren’t defined by their design but how people behave.
Superbly acted by Danny Sapani playing the role of the majestic and demanding Kublai Khan along with Matthew Leonhart who lived and breathed life into a very real Marco Polo.
I don’t want to give away any of the wonderful aspects of this amazing production but let me say it is a true masterpiece that takes your breath away as you are whisked on an amazing journey that just gets better and better.
Contemporary dance at its finest, choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, was performed by a wonderful dance troupe who weave an amazing story with costumes designed by Laura Hopkins.
Set design by Jenny Melville that was set in a warehouse left me wanting more – simplistic but oh so effective.
I also have to mention Fabiana Piccioli Lighting Designer, Garthe Fry Sound Designer, Nicol Scott Video Designer, and Benoit Swan Pouffer, Creative Advisor who all added layer upon layer of what is a fantastic experience.
Well done Brisbane Festival.
If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket you are in for a treat.
If not run don’t walk people and snatch one up asap!
