Arete:Delta

May 3, 2018 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Arete:Delta is an innovative annual One-Act Play, Performance and Visual Arts Festival.
Where all artistic works respond to a set theme; allowing artists to manifest unique thought.

2018 THEME: “I think you travel to search and you come back home to find yourself there.’’ CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE

This year’s works, both on and off stage, explore many varied interpretations of the theme we have chosen from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

With each of the plays being showcased, the playwright has taken their own individual interpretation on the theme, to create a one-act play that will provide the opportunity for the manifestation of unique thought.

The Director’s working on each of the pieces have created distinctive, dynamic expositions on the over-arching theme for this year’s Festival.

Dionysus Theatre also welcomes Artists-in-Residence who will complete the collection of performance and visual arts artistes, set to illuminate the Festival with their individual representation on the theme.

As an audience, you will delight in receiving ten exceptional pieces of work that will be entertaining and thought-provoking.
