Feast Festival
Über dieses Event
Feast ist Adelaides Festival für queere Kunst und Kultur. Es findet jedes Jahr im November für etwa drei Wochen statt und gibt es seit den späten 1990er Jahren: Die Ausgabe 2025 wurde als 28. Jahr angekündigt, und das Festival sagt, es feiert 2027 sein 30-jähriges Bestehen. Es ist keine Parade-und-Party-Pride. Der Großteil des Programms besteht aus Theater, Kabarett, Comedy, bildender Kunst, Vorträgen und Gemeinschaftsveranstaltungen, viele davon klein und in Vorstadt-Locations, neben einigen großen kostenlosen Tagen, die alle zusammenbringen.
Das Programm funktioniert als Open-Access-Festival. Feast produziert einige der Veranstaltungen selbst und registriert den Rest von unabhängigen Künstlern und Gemeindegruppen, daher variiert die Qualität und die Preise reichen von kostenlos bis hin zu vollen Theaterkarten. Das Adelaide Queer Film Festival im The Piccadilly in North Adelaide läuft als Teil davon. Die kostenlosen öffentlichen Momente sind die Eröffnungs-Straßenparty und das abschließende Picnic in the Park, das einen Markt, Essensstände und eine Hundeschau beherbergt, die von Mitbegründerin Margie Fischer moderiert wird.
In der Praxis: November in Adelaide ist warm, und die meisten Veranstaltungsorte sind in der Nähe des CBD. Wenn Ihre Zeit kurz ist, wählen Sie das Eröffnungswochenende oder das abschließende Picknick und nutzen Sie dann das Online-Programm, um Shows auszuwählen.
Das Festival 2025 fand vom 1. bis 23. November mit 117 Veranstaltungen an 67 Orten statt und markierte 50 Jahre, seit South Australia der erste australische Bundesstaat war, der Homosexualität entkriminalisierte. Das Festival 2026 wurde offiziell für den 1. bis 22. November 2026 mit dem Thema Joy angekündigt. InDaily berichtete von mehr als 150 Veranstaltungen, dem größten Programm, das Feast je hatte. Die kostenlose Eröffnungs-Straßenparty findet am 30. Oktober in der Hyde Street statt, und das abschließende Picnic in the Park ist am Sonntag, dem 22. November, im Whitmore Square/Iparrityi mit Bernie Van Tiel als Headliner. Geschäftsführerin Skye Bee und Kreativdirektorin Katherine Sortini leiten das Festival. Feast veröffentlicht keine verlässliche Besucherzahl, und wir haben keine unabhängige gefunden.
