K@OSMOS
The FOXTEL Festival opening event
is literally out of this world, as
aerial choreography and live rock
music come together for some fast
and furious flying family fun
Following last year’s mischievous bells, when
France brought the 19th Century to the sky, this
year Spain and Argentina take us from court jesters
to cosmonauts with a 21st Century aerial theatre
show – the dynamic, spectactular K@osmos.
Grupo Puja! is world renowned for its stunning
productions that combine the skills of theatre,
circus, dance, aerial sport, architecture,
engineering, multimedia and music. With
K@osmos, the company animates the Alexandra
Gardens with an exciting combination of poetic
images, awesome physical feats, thumping
sounds and high octane energy.
Integrating special effects, acrobatics at altitude
and rock music performed by a live band,
K@osmos is a FREE performance set to dazzle and
amaze people of all ages each night from 9pm.

Take a dazzling journey from the
NGV to the Forum and let the Halo
project light your way
Lighting designer Allan Parkinson is bringing the
Festival precinct to life with a specially designed
lighting installation to make the city look her best
for this year’s Festival.
Halo illuminates the area around some of the
Festival’s major venues to add to the festive feel
in a way that long-time Festival goers will recall
from the John Truscott years.
Experience the Festival through a purple haze
as our signature colour takes over the town.
From the footpath, to the trees, to the roofline,
wherever you look you may discover exquisite
lighting installations designed to bring some
more spark to your 2010 Festival experience.
