Fables is the four short films shot by four UK’s leading composers and four filmmakers by 125 streetwise performers who have the experiences about homelessness before.
I watched this new film event of performing “Film Operas” - Fables at Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle
The four short films of Fables are The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Nightingale and the Rose, Hey! Come on Out! and The Hartlepool Monkey.
I enjoy the live theatrical staging at the Tyneside Cinema so much. Before the show, there was a long queue out the cinema, and the band was playing local folk music at the stage before the show began.
This was an utterly brilliant part in Fables that the Streetwise performers popping up from the audience to tell stories, the lights they made and they showered the audience with rose petals. It looked like everyone enjoyed the show, and at the end of Fables, all the people there were dancing and singing and waving hands which was such amazing atmosphere at that moment.
It was lucky that the Newcastle filmmaker of the fourth short film - The Hartlepool Monkey – is sat next to me, and he told me passionately that he went to London
Trough this opera, the narrator was great and really engaging all the audience to a magical journey. I felt a fantastic time there with a big ovation for the successful performance at the end of the show.
And there is a trailer on Youtube and its website as well,
