The Cult of Dionysus

Based on Euripides' Greek classic, 'The Bacchae,' The Cult of Dionysus was the hit of the inaugural Brisbane Festival in 1996. First performed in Japan in 1994, this ground-breaking production was a part of the first wave of physical theatre works to be showcased in Australia.

Drawing on Japanese theatre styles and philosophies to capture the rawness of the Greek tragedies, The Cult of Dionysus tells the story of the fatal clash between King Pentheus and Dionysus using dynamic movement, spoken text, music and spectacular design.

UNLEASHED

First debuted in 1996 in the old Princess Theatre, Brisbane, Zen Zen Zo's Unleased later toured to the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2000. A sell-out hit in both seasons, the work unleashes a nightmarish world of fears and fantasies through a series of six dances.

"This is a beautiful wordless theatre that communicates on a deeper level than the mere intellectual, showing Zen Zen Zo at the height of its powers. Here we see the perfection of the naked human body pushed to the limits of ecstasy and pain, a rare oppotunity to experience a flawless embodiment of wit and passion." - The Courier Mail, 2000
