Boulevard Delirium

By Paul Capsis & Barrie Kosky

31 May 2005 – 26 June 2005 Merlyn Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Schauspielhaus Vienna,

Theatre Musical Co-Production

A work specially created for Paul Capsis by Barrie Kosky in which the souls and the spirits of the great chanteuses of our age can play and sing - Bessie Smith, Marlene Dietrich, Janis Joplin, Judy Garland and Billie Holliday.

First produced by Schauspielhaus Vienna, Malthouse Theatre is proud to be entrusted with this utterly unique creation starring one of Australia’s most impossibly gifted artists, the ultimate shaman and entertainer: Paul Capsis.

"CAPSIS IS AN UNFORGETTABLE ARTIST: CHARISMATIC, COMPELLING, WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY VOICE, PRESENCE AND PERFORMANCE RANCE ..."

— The Age

"THE WHOLE AUDIENCE SEEMED TO BE HOLDING ITS BREATH ... THIS IS HOMAGE IN ITS TRUEST SENSE: TEH INTERPRETATION OF THE WORK OF ONE GREAT ARTIST BY ANOTHER."
