St Kilda Tales is inspired by the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda where various members of Ranters Theatre lived for a number of years. With its heterogeneous community, the suburb became the springboard into a contemporary urban ritual. To the pulsing beats of a live electronic score ten performers create a continuously moving multi-faceted choreography. They wander aimlessly, prowling the stage or moving to the music, engaging with each-other in seemingly chance-like encounters sometimes with consequences sometimes not.
Epic and intimate at the same time, St Kilda Tales celebrates the anarchic complexity that underlies everyday existence.
