"The Dreams of the Chicken" Food Cabaret in Malsmbury!

A cocktail of Absurdist Cabaret: part Buenos Aires Dada,
part Hallucinogenic Comic Surrealism with a drop (or two)
of Mexican Mezcal, stirred and shaken by the Argentinean Ring
Master, Hernan Palacio.

Experience a traditional Argentinean BBQ Banquet while enjoying this world class Cabaret show.

Saturday 15th Nov 7pm @ Malmsbury Town Hall, Main Rd, Botanical Gardens

Cost:
$45 for three course banquet provided by the Australasian Argentinean
BBQ Association, Show and Disco. Bar provided.

Enter the Mezcal-soaked dream landscape of DREAMS OF THE
CHICKEN.
With a nod to Alfred Jarry (Pere Ubu), Antonin Artaud (Theatre
of Cruelty), Carlos Castaneda (The Teachings of Don Juan),
Julio Cortazar (Hopscotch) and poet Pablo Neruda, Palacio
brings to life the dreamy world of the chicken.
Swimming in magic and ritual, the Da-Da-mented Argentinean
will hypnotise a live chicken and with the help of a pataphysical
contraption, a bottle of
Mezcal, Leandro's musical concoptions, Malia Walsh acrobatic antics, Bo
Svoronos banter, Drasko "The Emu" Boljevich & Oakies's charm, the audience and other devices. You
will see and feel the dreams of the chicken.
This
night will be a one-of-a-kind experience in this truly
hallucinogenic dream-world.

What is pataphysics? what does it have to do with chickens?
Based on the work of Alfred Jarry, pataphysics is the search
for imaginary solutions to practical problems. Dream of the
Chicken roosts in the theatre of the absurd, Dada, Surrealism
and symbolism, with a distinctly Latin American spin.

"The Canberra Times" said (true):

"Interesting to hear the comments of the Diplomats after the performance"

"Dreams of the Chicken, it's better than chicken Maryland"
Mike Coppola, Head Chef, University of Melbourne cafeteria
"Some people think I'm a comedian, but actually I'm an Argentinean"
Hernan Palacio, coordinator of the Institute of Pataphysical
Studies

When: Saturday 15th Nov 7pm

Where: Malmsbury Town Hall, Main Rd, Botanical Gardens

Cost:
$45 for three course banquet provided by the Australasian Argentinean
BBQ Association, Show and Disco. BYO wine, Bar provided.

THE DREAMS
OF THE CHICKEN Reviewed by John Richards
October 2002

Descriptions in the Fringe program can be annoying. At first glance,
The Dreams of the Chicken's claim to contain "absurdism, dadaism, surrealism
and symbolism, with a Latin American spin" seems uselessly vague.
But this turns out to be the best definition for an indefinable show.
To see it is like being on a burning runaway train while an axe-murderer
runs up and down the corridors: you know you won't come out unscathed,
but you have no idea what will get you first.
Essentially a cabaret of surreal set-pieces, The Dreams Of The Chicken
wanders from straight-up humour, to sly satire, to downright bizarreness
without ever forcing the "weird factor". Reckless, breathless and exhilarating,
it teeters on the edge of hysteria.
Occasionally the performers apologise for things going awry, but it's
impossible to guess what is and isn't planned. There's no way of knowing
where the show will go at any moment, and the performers often seem surprised.
Will they use the audience to recreate Botticelli's La Pieta? Will Palacio
place his head in the mouth of a chicken? The only constant is the mantra
of "More bubbles! More mescal!" as Mexican spirits are distributed from
water pistols.
Ringmaster Hernan Palacio resembles a lithe South American Aunty Jack,
while Jackie Hawkins and Matilda Robertson are suitably sultry as his
accomplices. Providing the music is Shanaka Fernando, looking good in
his slinky red dress, and combat-clad Vincent Gimenez, probably the sexiest
harp-player you'll ever see.
The Dreams of the Chicken will not appeal to everyone; but if you're willing
to take the trip, you'll have an amazing journey. The show's frantic charm
is overwhelming, and underneath the brightly-coloured chaos there are
barbed comments about politics, immigration and asylum seekers.
The performers are engaging, the costuming is fantastic and the whole
package is surprisingly sexy. Highly recommended.
