Description Following the astounding success of Little City, Renato Cuocolo, Irine Vela and Mark Dunbar return for the final installment of IRAA Theatre's much acclaimed music theatre Trilogy of Exile.
Exploring migration and displacement, Teatro tells the story of a choir rehearsing a new musical work celebrating multiculturalism.
Within the duration of rehearsal, a revolution takes place amongst the members. At its source, the destruction and reconstruction of their identity in exile.
Stunning visual imagery and physical and intense performances have distinguished director Cuocolo's IRAA Theatre productions over the past twenty years. Here IRAA joins forces with the fifty strong Canto Coro, whose passionate choral works reflect the cultural aspirations of Melbourne's Greek and Hispanic communities.
Teatro is about a society in flux. It is about people far from their countries of birth, yearning for a completeness that can never be found. It is the search for a Home that does not exist.
