Romanza, a Diva in Paris
Since childhood, Inès has dreamed of becoming a singer... Blessed with an exceptional voice spanning three octaves, Inès practices singing all musical styles on her own. The disconcerting ease with which she interprets jazz, classical music, and French chanson provokes jealousy and incomprehension on the part of venue managers and musicians: she does not fit into standard frameworks, mixes all musical genres, belongs to no school. Her original personality and atypical voice close the doors of Parisian concert halls to her... In desperation, she decided to sing in the streets of Paris! That's where she met her destiny. A journey through Paris.
English subtitles are included to ensure the beauty of the original language is not compromised.
When: Sun, 01 Mar - Sat, 14 Mar
Where: The Garage International @ Adelaide Town Hall
Joshy in Paris
Strap in for the most energetic and ridiculous night of comedy your two little human eyes have ever seen. Through a delicious
blend of stand up, dance, theatre and clowny burlesque, ‘Joshy in Paris’ shares the tale of life lived as a gay Australian trying to
make it as a creative superstar in the piss-ridden streets of Paris. After a debut at the Melbourne International Comedy
Festival 2025 and many performances in comedy venues around Europe, Joshy in Paris is glitzier, grungier and gayer than ever.
Join Joshy as he braves a slew of ridiculous scenarios. Will he triumph over Paris, or will France smoke this fag just like every
other?
When: Wed, 25 Feb - Thu, 26 Feb
Where: The Den at Dom Polski Centre
