First up this week we’ll meet Jawad Yagoubi, co-creator of and performer in Dorr-e Dari, a bilingual performance of Persian storytelling and epic ballads drawn from the streets of Kabul, Tehran and Quetta by way of Western Sydney. But what is a Persian ‘curtain show’ and how do you fit a thousand years of Persian love poetry into a 75 minute show?
Then we’ll be talking more about poetry when we meet Eric Whitacre who’ll be on the line from the USA ahead of his Impending visit to Melbourne to perform The Sacred Veil, a work in twelve movements set to the poems of long time collaborator, Charles Anthony Silvestri.
After that we’re sneaking out of the studio for a face to face chat with Tom Healey director of Bed and Breakfast, a play that looks at what happens when a gay couple give up their city life to start a bed and breakfast in a country town.
And finally, Marc Gracie is here to talk Screens & Streams… this time it’s a new Brad Pitt comic thriller, a new Jordan Peele comic horror and a seven-part series pairing Jeff Bridges with John Lithgow that is anything but comic.
They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
