The Other Mozart – The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister

The forgotten story of Mozart’s genius sister. The Other Mozart is an award-winning, Drama Desk nominated play telling the true, forgotten story of Nannerl Mozart, the genius sister of Amadeus, who performed throughout Europe alongside him to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history. Set in a stunning 18-foot dress, inspired by the Mozart family’s hilarious and heartbreaking letters, this award-winning production by playwright Sylvia Milo ushers you into a world of opulence and delight – obscured by restriction and prejudice. Music score by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen (Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival) brings Nannerl’s musical imagination to life using clavichords, music boxes, teacups and fluttering fans. With the opulent beauty of the dress, the sweet smell of perfume, the sublime enveloping sound and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story. “Strikingly beautiful” – New York Times “A gem of a show” – The Stage (London) “dazzling, original performance… hauntingly beautiful compositions… the dress is worthy of a gallery installation all its own.” – LA Times “fascinating and irresistibly intelligent… it is beautiful.” – Theatermania “This show is the height of theatrical achievement.” — Theater is Easy

By a Thread

By a Thread is an aerial circus show featuring seven Australian acrobats and 30 metres of rope. The cast uses two industrial pulleys and heavy-duty sailing rope to create acrobatic and choreographed sequences that explore themes of trust, connection, and relationships. The performance weaves together virtuosic acrobatics and intricate choreography, with moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear, and friendship. The rope serves as a physical manifestation of trust, used as a metaphor for community and the dynamics of connecting with one another. Performers work 6 metres above the ground. The ensemble has toured in Europe, Canada, and Asia. The show uses only one prop onstage — 30 metres of white cotton rope — with classic acrobatic techniques applied in expansive ways. Director and company co-founder Charice Rust notes: "At the core of By a Thread is a desire to share with the audience the trust implicit in ensemble acrobatic work. Circus is a powerful art form because what you see before you is actually what is happening. When you see someone taking a risk by hanging upside down from a rope that is held up only by other people, there is no illusion or trick, that risk is real and the audience can feel that." This is a one-night-only performance at BPAC.
