Published by

This October, Oktoberfest in the Gardens will take over Melbourne’s Birrarung Marr for a giant, beer garden party.  Now in it’s sixth year, the party will feature two massive beer halls with a large selection of imported German beers, cider and wine, plus authentic German food stalls. Entertainment wise, there’ll be roving performers, sideshow alley, silent disco and an eclectic mix of entertainment and competitions across multiple stages throughout the afternoon and evening.

The audience lights dimmed, the stage lights fired up and we were immediately blown away with the familiar dirty opening riffs of Rebel Rebel. Anyone say goosebumps…? This week we were invited to check out CHANGES: Theatrical Tribute to the Music of David Bowie, a beautiful collaboration between Bare Naked Theatre, and Melbourne rock band, Robot Child running at Gasworks Art Park until 6 August. I love Bowie. Full stop. I had no idea what to expect from what was described as a ‘reimagination of his songs through the power of theatre…’ but I was about to find out. Bare Naked pride themselves in being visually a little out there. If you are expecting to see a traditional stage musical performance piece, you’ve come to the wrong show. With zero dialogue, this tribute is purely about the man and the music. The cast dance, sing and make art with their bodies and the various props they are given to work with. And the band plays. Beautifully. It’s a sweet, simple, but intellectual tribute, and Bowie …
