The whole state has embraced the Tasmanian International Arts Festival with openings and celebrations from Burnie to Hobart and everywhere in between.

Hundreds filled the Burnie Arts & Function Centre to see Beyond by Circa and then enjoyed an after party with cast and crew in the Burnie Regional Art Gallery. Surrounded by the impressive Burnie Print Prize exhibition, it was a fantastic night that celebrated the partnership between Ten Days, the Burnie Arts & Function Centre and the North West community.

The following night, Launceston art lovers turned out for a full evening of visual and performing art that began with David Keeling’s major survey exhibition, Inside Out at the Academy Gallery, then Habits and Habitat by The Ronalds at Queen Victoria Museum, Design Tasmania opened Indeco in the making: Two decades of Design and finally Plato’s Cave amazed at the Earl Arts Centre. St John’s Anglican Church welcomed patrons for the opening night of The Cardinals in an energetic production by Stan’s Cafe Theatre Company and afterwards the cast joined the Launceston crowd to celebrate a wonderful start to the festival.

Hobart audiences were treated to a taste of Bolivian theatre with the opening of Hamlet, de los Andes at the iconic Theatre Royal that reinvented Shakespeare with their own authentic twist.

GRIPPING. HUMOROUS. SPINE-TINGLING. ENTERTAINING.

In Dementia 13, Francis Ford Coppola’s spooky but funny first feature film, an eccentric Irish family bickers over a vast inheritance in a lonely mansion while a mysterious axe murderer picks them off one by one. In this exhilarating adaptation by Live Live Cinema, the score and dialogue are performed onstage, with every creeping footstep and murderous axe blow bought to life by a sound effects wizard, as the film screens in the background. A cinematic happening unlike anything you will have experienced before - this is better than the movies, this is cinema in 4-D!
