ADELAIDE Festival director Paul Grabowsky aimed straight for “The Heart” with the poster and program for next year’s 50th anniversary Adelaide Festival.
US jazz great Wayne Shorter, an international opera production of Le Grand Macabre, the London Sinfonietta and Australia’s indigenous YouTube sensations, the Chooky Dancers, are among the major acts.
Visual arts would fall under three main umbrellas: the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, the new Adelaide International survey of overseas artists, and Putsch, a look at contemporary Aboriginal art.
The program will also feature new works by leading Adelaide companies, including the Border Project’s Vs Macbeth, and Slingsby’s family show Man Covets Bird.
