FESTIVAL – Gardenia – 5K

By Fiona Gardner

This transvestite cabaret shares the intimate tales of the past and the present personal stories of the performers. This nine male cast produce a comical, rude, engaging and intelligent performance. The characters take you into their personal stories from the pains to the pleasures, along side the sexual desires that they had explored.

This snap shot choreography is genius as you are able to scan over the cast taking in their symbolic gestures of their aged bodies. They question the tales of their own gender identity though the change of clothes, and I can assure you I was still left questioning if some of them were women or men by the end.

The show goes for 90 minutes with queer sounds, and a fashion parade not to be missed. The one young dancer, in sexy tight red underwear is provocative and a beautiful dancer. For those who don’t speak French, the song sings about him going for a walk and then out on the town in the evening, some of the words are easy to pick up, so listen carefully.

There is everything in this show – reality, love, emotions, fun to laughter, which will leave you laughing at the start and entangled with emotions at the end. Not to be missed and exclusive to Adelaide.
