Cutaway - a portrait

Presented by Vitalstatistix

Cutaway – a portrait is a remarkable theatre and audio exploration of the spirit of mischief that inhabits Port Adelaide’s Waterside Workers Hall.

Acclaimed headphone-verbatim theatre maker Roslyn Oades has worked with interviews collected by community members to make a fascinating portrait of the cheekiness, loyalty and independent spirit of Port locals. Weaving together eight real-life stories from some of the Port’s best yarn spinners, we invite you to sit close and listen.

Headphone-verbatim theatre is a unique performance experience, where actors wear earpieces and literally adopt the words, breaths and speech mannerisms of another human being. What results is incredibly intimate and evocative storytelling.

The central performance will be topped and tailed by beautiful audio art works, making a three-part experience that takes you up close and personal with Waterside and the people who inhabit it. Don’t miss this site-specific audio adventure.

“Astonishingly authentic... Oades has an extraordinary ability to take us into different worlds.” The Australian, I’m Your Man, Sydney Festival, 2012

Cutaway is a three-year arts project, now in its second year, celebrating Vitalstatistix’s heritage-listed home by asking artists and community members to respond to Waterside’s history, spirit and place in the Port’s future.

Created and directed by Roslyn Oades with performers Katia Molino, Stephen Sheehan, Sasha Zahra and collaborating artists Sasha Grbich, Jason Sweeney, Wendy Todd, Lara Torr and Emma Webb.
