MACONDO’S CLOTHESLINE

MACONDO’S CLOTHESLINE

When Manuela finds herself in a strange universe called Macondo, two women become her shamanic guides. They chain-smoke relentlessly and magic follows them wherever they go, but the three women have a big task ahead of them – to find a mysterious man by the name of Moustachio.

“For us it’s about falling whether that’s falling in love or falling to earth,” explains Alicia Gonzales, the show’s creator and producer. “It’s a bit mad and imaginative – quite visual theatre. It’s magical realism meets puppetry meets live music meets good old-fashioned choreography.”

This brand new work was inspired by a 96-word micro story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “I’ve always felt connected to his writing. There’s almost a nostalgia I enjoy. It’s dark and deep,” she says laughing.

The show is part of Old 505’s development series and audiences are invited to stay and provide feedback afterwards

“It’s a creative pressure cooker. We don’t have a director and work in a way where we collaborate,” she continues. “It’s a good break from watching reality TV and instead play with our imaginations.”

Apr 11-21, Old 505 Theatre, Suite 505, 342 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills, $15-20, trybooking.com
