8 must see shows at Brisbane Festival 2019

Creating a festival is a balancing act. It’s about hitting that sweet spot in garnering enough international performances to attract crowds while still supporting a local scene; in finding a mainstream audience while fostering experimental fringe works. With its 2019 program – the fifth and final year for Artistic Director David Berthold – Brisbane Festival aims for just that balance.


‘The festival is flush with local work this year, on top of the big international work from five continents,' Berthold told ArtsHub. 'World premieres from La Boite, Dancenorth and Queensland Theatre, along with QSO, Camerata, Casus, Flipside, Counterpilot, and lots of work from Brisbane independent artists. All up, we’ll engage close to a thousand Queensland artists and arts workers.’

The festival began in 1996, becoming an annual event in 2009. It's relatively young in comparison with Sydney Festival, which harkens back to 1977, and maintains a vitality that reflects the character not only of the city but also of the region. Much like Brisbane’s other big international ticket, the visual arts exhibition Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT), this year’s Brisbane Festival gathers works from China, South Africa, United Kingdom and more.
