THE SELLARS FESTIVAL

Peter Sellars is hard at work putting together the next Adelaide Festival. “Decrying many Australian and American festivals for relying heavily on what he calls ‘a yuppie shopping spree’ of European works, Sellars has confirmed he will present a predominantly local program in Adelaide. It is a proposition that alternately dazzles and horrifies people, as do his challenging images of large-scale community collaborations likely to involve Asian countries.” – The Age (Melbourne)
