Hold Me Closer Tony Danza

Hold Me Closer Tony Danza
The starting point was a misunderstood Elton John lyric played to great comedic effect. This tension between “rightness” or “wrongness” framed a deeper, pop-cultural exploration of differences in opinion through club dancing and seamless partnering. - Limelight magazine

Get ready for a dance-off…

Hold Me Closer Tony Danza is bold, brash, non-conforming, and like a pop song you can’t get out of your head, deeply seductive. It is immersive dance-theatre that asks the audience to pick a side, show their true colours, and get ready for a dance-off as if their lives depend on it.

Rollickingly funny and deeply skilled dance technicians The Farm perform this one-hour ride, a Victorian premiere, commissioned by Monash University.

With an intensely satirical edge, Hold Me Closer Tony Danza confronts our modern world through the subversion of pop sensibilities. In a world driven by information overload, it asks how we can still connect with each other when we feel so far apart. A commonly misheard song lyric contains a deeper proposition about how we form meaning and a provocation that perhaps our understanding of the world is intrinsically flawed.

At The Farm work is made in a collaborative process where everyone brings their expertise without being confined to it. All animals are equal.

THE TASTE OF THINGS

THE TASTE OF THINGS
IN CINEMAS MAY 2
One of the most acclaimed French films of recent times starring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel and directed by Tran Anh Hung, THE TASTE OF THINGS is a sensual ode to haute cuisine. In 1885, Eugenie, a peerless cook, has spent two decades working for the renowned gourmet Dodin, evolving their gastronomic partnership into a romantic bond. Their culinary creations astonish even the most esteemed chefs, yet Eugenie cherishes her independence and resists Dodin's desire for marriage. In a poignant gesture, Dodin strives to express his love through the intimate act of cooking a meal for her, a move that signifies a departure from his usual role in their relationship.
