The Geelong Edge ensemble will deliver two original plays Share House and 2K for free at the Courthouse Youth Arts on November 22 from 7pm.<\/p>\n
The culturally diverse youth will offer a peek into their lives via the double feature they\u2019ve been working on for the past 12 months.<\/p>\n
The group has worked closely with Western Edge Youth Arts\u2019 artistic director Dr Dave Kelman who wrote 2K (alongside artist Dave Nguyen).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe show is a crazy comedy about a young man who attempts to do the right thing in a world that is conspiring against him,\u201d Dr Kelman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is based on the ideas, energy and raw talent of an amazing group of young men who want to show the community the positive things they have to offer Geelong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Share House is written by cast members Kiril Stamenkov and Sila Toprak and features four friends that live together with different cultures, stories, and personal troubles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the use of subtle humour and turbulent content, the story delivers real issues and reflects the many realities that affect culturally diverse youth in Geelong today,\u201d Sila said.<\/p>\n
Kiril said he drew his comedic inspiration from cultures worldwide, as well as movies, online videos and his own lived experiences to create a show that is \u201cpure comedy based on life in Australia\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy goal when writing is to make the audience laugh, so I picture the scene, play it in my head, and keep tweaking it until I know the audience will definitely enjoy it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Audiences will be immersed in misfortune, triumph, lies and love triangles that come hand in-hand with being a young adult in Geelong today.<\/p>\n
The Geelong Edge ensemble recently performed a political adaptation of the Greek tragedy Antigone to a full house at Courthouse Youth Arts in October.<\/p>\n
Share House and 2K is presented by Western Edge Youth Arts in partnership with Courthouse Youth Arts; Western Edge Youth Arts\u2019 Geelong Edge ensemble is proudly supported by the Victorian Government, City of Greater Geelong, Geelong Community Foundation and Creative Victoria.<\/p>\n
