THE movie Red Boar Riot will premiere tomorrow night at a red carpet event at the Glasshouse in Port Macquarie.
The movie stars the Bago Magic Performance Group and Blokes Notes.
Bago Magic’s most recent show, Red Boar Riot, was performed in November 2012 under the direction of Emil Wolk and Greta Warner at Bourne House and hailed a huge success.
“Red Boar Riot – the movie is a superb depiction of a magical performance developed by Bago Magic Performance Group in a way only Bago Magic can,” a spokesperson for the Glasshouse said.
“The movie came from a mixture of impressions from Ben Hur and the Asterix & Obelix series and all the madness and mayhem when putting these together.
“The show is set in Roman times and revolves between the village of Wauchopix and its surrounding forest and Portius Maximus with its crystal colosseum.
“For this show, Bago Magic recruited the fabulous Blokes Notes men’s choir. Blokes Notes performed the role of the Portius Maximus soldiers under the guiding eye of Julius Caesar.
“Red Boar Riot was filmed by Luke Fitzsimmons from Luma Films, Newcastle.”
Bago Magic are no strangers to the Glasshouse, having held their Suspicious Baggage show at the Glasshouse in 2010, and a gallery exhibition in 2011 celebrating their outstanding costumes, props and many achievements. They are a not-for-profit performance group for people with and without disabilities. The group started in 2001 with five very passionate participants. Today, this number has grown to 45 participants.
Blokes Notes is a men’s choir community group providing men with the opportunity to fully experience and participate in singing. They enjoy fun and fellowship at workshops that are held every Thursday at the Historic Courthouse in Port Macquarie.
Tickets for the red-carpet premiere cost $12.50 and are on sale now at the Glasshouse box office – visit www.glasshouse.org.au
Dresscode is formal and the night kicks off at 7pm.
