FESTIVAL DIRECTOR, OZASIA FESTIVAL
The peacock has a special place in Indian mythology and
history. The beautiful bird’s dance is associated with the
first gathering of monsoon clouds in the sky, when he
flamboyantly fans his iridescent train to joyfully show off
its sparkling colours. With India as our country of focus in
2012, the peacock is a fitting symbol for this year’s Festival
which proudly highlights contemporary Asian culture
through diverse cultural events.

Our exclusive world premieres this year are as diverse as the region and
cultures of Asia. One highlight is the Australian/Indian collaboration Fearless
Nadia that will travel to India in November 2012 as part of OzFest – the
Australian Government’s major cultural festival in India. Another world
premiere is the poignant Cambodia Sun Rising by Geraldine Cox and Cate
Fowler featuring young performers from Sunrise Children’s Village.
The exclusive Australian premiere of Academy and Grammy-Award winner
Tan Dun’s Martial Arts Trilogy will be a must see event.
Comedian Anh Do will bring his heart-felt book to life with his show The
Happiest Refugee Live!;Yohangza Theatre Company return to Adelaide with
their interpretation of Ibsen’s epic Peer Gynt. Kodo & Taikoz will drum their
way into your heart and Sandy Evans’ Indian Project will enchant your soul.
Be prepared to be charmed by India’s mega star Kailash Kher and his band.
The visual arts program will focus on contemporary voices while the film
program explores stories that unite us in their universal themes. We also
have cooking demonstrations, Bollywood dance workshops and the Keynote
lecture with the Hawke Centre. This year the Festival closes with our multiaward winning Moon Lantern Festival.
Together with artists, communities, cultural partners and sponsors, I look
forward to seeing you at our unique Festival in September.
The State Government has been highlighting the value of Australia’s
engagement with Asia for many years and, in the Asian Century, our economic
and trade future is strongly linked to genuine cultural exchange.
Adelaide Festival Centre’s OzAsia Festival plays an important role in building
strong cross-cultural understanding and intercultural communication and,
since its start in 2007, the Festival has become a role model event. As well as
all this of course, OzAsia is simply a wonderful celebration that continues to
excite, delight and challenge audiences.
I invite you to join us and be part of this amazing showcase of the depth and
breadth of Asian culture.
It is a great honour to be Patron of this festival, a much-loved and important
part of our cultural calendar.
Australia is looking forward to an Asian century. The OzAsia Festival provides
an important means of understanding and appreciating our neighbouring
Asian countries through the joy of gathering together, sharing and celebrating
the richness of the arts and culture that define this fantastic event.
The Festival’s focus on India this year is particularly timely. It is a nation with a
long and deep cultural history, and this year South Australians will be able to
revel in the beauty and grandeur of the fascinating Indian continent. In recent
years, our local Indian community has grown significantly, and with it the
enormous value of their contribution to our economy and society through
their culture.
Now in its sixth year, the 2012 OzAsia Festival will again delight us all
with the spectacular range of events on offer. I urge you to bring your
family and friends.
Over the last 12 months the OzAsia Festival has received many significant
accolades, including the national AbaF Business Partner Award, AbaF SA
Awards and a national Australian Event Award. OzAsia also continues to gain
respect internationally as the premier Australian event contributing to and
engaging with the cultural landscape of our Asian region.
As well as exploring links between Australia and the diverse cultures of our
Asian neighbours OzAsia places Asian cultures in an Australian context. New
generations of Asian-Australians are now celebrating their traditions and
histories to help realise our potential and history as a multicultural nation.
Thank you to everyone involved in the OzAsia Festival including artists,
staff, sponsors, presenting partners and audiences.You have all contributed
to the impact and significance of this wonderful cultural celebration in
South Australia.

Fearless Nadia
AN INDIA-AUSTRALIA COLLABORATION STEEPED IN HISTORY
In 1930 one of
the biggest stars
in Bombay was a
sword fighting, whipcracking, punchflinging Australianborn stunt woman
extraordinaire,
Fearless Nadia.
A female version of Zorro,
Fearless Nadia was the
first stunt queen of Indian
films; a blonde blue-eyed
girl from Perth and a
pioneer in Indian Cinema.
Marvel at a screening of
the restored Diamond
Queen, one of Nadia’s
most celebrated films
together with highlights from her other classic
movie appearances.Witness the birth of Bollywood,
accompanied by a new and completely original
score by musical chameleon Ben Walsh
(Tom Tom Crew) performed live by the
Orkestra of the Underground.
Special guest musicians and dancers from
India will be adding to the adventure.
Including passages for tabla improvised
and composed by tabla maestro
Aneesh Pradhan.
Don’t miss the madness, and wonder
at the legend of Fearless Nadia!
Whips, quips, swinging hips!

Reflect
OZASIA FESTIVAL RESIDENT ARTISTS
Ramta Drig
is a collective
of artists who
explore the
potential of
art to provide
a spiritual
framework
to challenge
inequalities
and injustices.
Their philosophy is based on the
Wandering Seer, an Indian belief system
that links all beings around ideas of the
pilgrim, journey and wisdom. Reflect
uses this ancient concept to create an
installation in the Artspace Gallery,
a wall mural outside the Festival Centre
cafe and photography in the Festival

More Than Meets the Eye
Safeguarding Intangible Heritage – Asian Australian Perspectives
KEYNOTE LECTURE
Intangible heritage
encompasses
the expressions
and traditions of
communities across
the world, inherited
from ancestors
and transmitted to
descendants, often
through the
spoken word.
24
SEPT
6PM
MON
Many of these communities are now
represented within our multicultural
Australia. So the question remains,
how do we as Australians acknowledge
and engage with the intangible heritage
of so many rich cultures? How do we
also recognise the first Australians, our
indigenous peoples, and reflect in our
sense of place the complexity of both
the original culture and subsequent
cultures? Are we doing enough to
safeguard the intangible heritage values
that enrich, engage and challenge the
Australian ethos and which so extend
the possibilities of our expressions?
Looking at transformations over time,
Amar will reflect on this fascinating
topic through his first voice as an
IndoAustralian. In doing so, he will
remind us of the North Terrace forum
he attended in Adelaide that put
arts and culture into the landmark
National Agenda for a Multicultural
Australia, launched in 1989 by the
Prime Minister of the day, the Hon
Bob Hawke AC.

moment.
Almost two million

A d i t i M a n g a l d a s Dance Company
A POETIC DOUBLE BILL DIRECT FROM INDIA
Fresh from an
Edinburgh International
Festival 2012 season,
Aditi Mangaldas Dance
Company take you
on a mesmerising
dance journey through
traditional and
contemporary forms.
Kathak, one of the eight forms of Indian
classical dances, loosely translates as
‘the art of storytelling’ and features
hypnotically intricate footwork, high
energy pirouettes and complex
rhythmic patterns of beats.
In the first part of the double bill,
Uncharted Seas takes you to the heart
of classical Kathak. Dancers weave in
and out of the shadows with grace,
poise and a stunning sense of rhythm.
The search for the intangible, for God,
truth, beauty, love and freedom, is at
its essence. Dressed in traditional

costumes, the sounds of the
ghunghroo (ankle bells) meld with
the live music, creating a distinct
percussive beat that adds a unique
flavour to every performance.
The second piece, Timeless moves
furthest from the classical Kathak
roots of the company. Entrancing,
distinctive and exhilarating, Timeless
utilises a totally new contemporary
movement vocabulary and Mangaldas’
choreography draws you into a
compelling and many textured
abstract world.

World-renowned
composer and
conductor Tan Dun
leads the Adelaide
Symphony Orchestra
in this concert of
his music for the
critically acclaimed

Hidden Dragon, Hero
and The Banquet.
These tales of love, desire and sacrifice,
told through beautiful lush orchestrations,

of attaining spiritual transcendence
through martial arts. Her dramatic
journey of sacrifice, determination and
power can be heard throughout the
concerto until the final Farewell.
The violin in the Hero Concerto relates
the ancient story of Flying Snow who

seeking above all else, revenge and the
redemption of her people.
And in The Banquet Concerto, the voice of
Empress Ano, who sacrifices love in pursuit
of power, is represented by the piano.
Tan Dun has made an indelible mark
on the international music scene with
a creative repertoire that spans from
classical music to multimedia performances
of Eastern and Western traditions. As a
composer/ conductor, Tan Dun has led
renowned orchestras across the world
and served as ‘Cultural Ambassador to the
World’ for World EXPO 2012 Shanghai.
MUSIC AND FILM COLLIDE IN A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT
An epic, multimedia production,
full of big-screen emotions and
unabashed melodrama; Beijing
Opera meets Hollywood, more or
less. Tan Dun’s melodies soared and
swooped through the air – like the
actors, they were borne aloft on
gusts of wind...

AN INDIAN MUSIC MEGA STAR
The immensely talented
Kailash Kher and his eight
piece band Kailasa bring their
unique blend of spiritual Sufi
chants, Rajasthani Gypsy
rhythms and Punjabi dance
fused with electric guitar,
modern beats and an array
of traditional instruments to
this year’s OzAsia Festival.
Kailash has been the
featured vocalist on more
than 200 Bollywood movie
soundtracks as well as
being one of the country’s
most popular recording and
performing artists outside
the studio walls, regularly
playing to packed 30,000seat arenas. The singersongwriter also composed
the Commonwealth Games
theme song Yahan Jashn
Manao..., and appeared
as a judge on Indian Idol.
Earlier this year, Kailash
Kher and Kailasa made
history after performing
at the BBC Maida Vale
Studios in London where
top recording artists like
David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix
and Led Zeppelin have
performed.
In a country with over a billion people, countless languages and multitude of
musical influences, it takes special talent to stand out from the crowd as an
entertainer. Luckily talent is what Kailash Kher has sacks full of.

Director: Pan-ek Ratanaruang (Thailand, 2011)
105 mins • THRILLER
Hailed as Japan’s greatest living director,
Kore’eda Hirokazu’s 2004 Nobody Knows is one
of the great films about childhood. He returns
to the exciting world of children with this
deeply pleasurable tale of two brothers trying
to reunite their family.To do this, they must
journey to the point where two bullet trains
pass, and in the mythology of kids, generate
enough energy to create miracles.
Grappling with corruption and other injustices,
Pan-ek delivers an ‘up-side down’ neo-noir
thriller with a Buddhist twist. Instructions are
left for hitman Tul to kill someone, disguised as
a monk – but it all goes wrong. Once recovered
from a three month coma we discover the
former cop ended up in jail after refusing to
take a bribe before becoming a hitman for the
infamous criminal ‘Doctor Demon’.

If you love Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, then
you’ll love this anime treasure. A young girl
who has recently lost her father relocates to
a small island home and finds herself with the
mixed blessing of being protected by three
of the goofiest goblins you can imagine.
From the director of anime classic Jin-Roh,
and Production I.G, the studio behind Ghost
in the Shell and Evangelion.
The Cultural Revolution, seen through the
eyes of a young boy, provides rich material
for Wang Xiaoshuai, one of the major Sixth
Generation directors. The boy’s problems
are simple but he and his family are drawn
inexorably into the moral turbulence of his
times, and finally the family must make a stand.

Director: Kim Han-min (Korea, 2011)

Over 400 feature films were produced in
Cambodia from 1960 to 1975, when the
Khmer Rouge regime commenced. By the
end of Khmer Rouge rule in 1979 almost
every film had been destroyed and most of
Cambodia’s creative community executed.
Directed by prolific producer Vann Chan’s
grandson, Golden Slumbers weaves rare
archival footage around the heartbreaking
testimony of surviving industry figures.
Perhaps the mark of the Lao new wave,
At The Horizon is a gripping story about
the world of rich and poor colliding in a
spectacular fashion. A rich kid sporting all the
excesses commonly seen in the west becomes
intertwined in the life of a poor family man
after a tragic event. As unexpected twists and
turns in the story unfold, we get a glimpse
into modern life in Laos.
Korea’s top box office smash hit War of the
Arrows delivers everything one expects from
a big budget period action drama including
sensational photography, costume and casting.
This captivating film is about an archer
Nam-Yi (Park Hae il, The Host) who is out to
rescue his sister Ja-in (Moon Chae-won) from
Manchurian soldiers. His pursuit is unflinching.

Based on the true story of an executive
(played by Asia’s biggest star, Andy Lau) who
becomes the main carer for his family’s aging
maid. Ann Hui’s film scooped this year’s
Hong Kong Film Awards, following up its Best
Actress prize for Deanie Ip at the Venice Film
Festival. The film’s enormous warmth never
clouds its analysis of the problems of dealing
with an aging population. Winner Asian Film
Awards (Best Actress and Favourite Actor).
Though the Indonesian Islamic State (NII)
has been outlawed, Islamic fundamentalism
continues to spread in Indonesia. Nugroho’s
compelling and sobering new work
investigates how these groups recruit –
through abduction and indoctrination of
students and teenagers. Using Nugroho’s
characteristic structure of telling three stories
at once, we follow a mother, a disaffected
young man and an NII recruiter.
A cleverly scripted, witty rom-com starring
Shawn Yue (Jimmy) and Miriam Yeung
(Cherie) by one of the most interesting
directors working in Hong Kong. The
Hong Kong International Film Festival 2012
opener follows the ebb and flow of a thirty
plus couple struggling to keep their spark.
Following a separation, Jimmy moves to Beijing
and the distance between them is what brings
their relationship into focus.

Director: Winston Furlong (Australia, 2011)
96 mins • DRAMA
Starring Aamir Khan, Dhobi Ghat is the story of four people
from very different backgrounds, whose worlds intersect
and leave them forever altered. As they find themselves
drawn into compelling relationships, the city finds its way
into the crevices of their lives, separating them even as it
brings them closer. Fragments of their experience – seen
through a naïve video diary, black and white photographic
images and painting – form a portrait of Mumbai and its
people, bound together as they journey through longing,
loneliness, loss and love.
A charismatic, self-absorbed Indian writer who
discovers he may not have long to live, tries to mend a
neglected relationship with his young daughter from his
broken marriage, while his life slowly falls apart around
him. When they discover a box of Lego bricks at a
garage sale and decide to build a model of the Taj Mahal
together, a whole new chapter opens up for them. But
what story will it tell? One of self-destruction or one of
redemption? A fine indie film that depicts the vibrancy of
multicultural Australia.

Director: Suman Ghosh (India, 2011)
96 mins • DRAMA
Over sixty million Indians belong to communities labelled
as ‘criminal tribes’. Cast to the fringes of society, many
of the Chhara, one such minority group, have turned to
stealing and brewing illegal alcohol to survive. Others
instead are creating and performing theatre to combat the
prejudices they continue to face.
This film permits insight into their plight, the ambitions of
the young people involved with the Budhan Theatre whilst
offering hope for their future.
In 2004, the Nobel prize awarded to one of India’s
greatest poets and first Asian Nobel laureate,
Rabindranath Tagore, was stolen, and its whereabouts
are still unknown today. Beginning with this event,
Nobel Thief follows the dilemmas faced by the poor farmer
who fictitiously stumbles upon the medal, dropped by the
thief, leading him to seek counsel from the village school
principal and ultimately a journey to the unfamiliar city,
Kolkata. The film provides a stunning insight into some of
the many contrasts that exist in India.

Set in the present day deserts of Rajasthan, this delightful
film centres upon the hopes and aspirations of a resilient
mother and her mute husband for their two children,
seven year old Ghumroo and five year old Panni. While
mother Kajro is scrimping and saving to take the family
to see the circus, father Jethu is caught in the path of the

Winner Busan International Film Festival Audience Award 2011.
This documentary follows Shambhu Prasad Singh, a
typical Indian ‘Common Man’ in his David and Goliath
struggle to resist eviction by the developers of eastern
India’s largest mixed use real estate development, South
City Project in Kolkata. Despite the rising sky scrapers
around him, Shambhu and his family manage to carry
on. Shot over ten years, Ghosh skilfully reflects on
universal themes – the struggle between rich and poor,
the powerful and disenfranchised – leading to a final and
shocking moment.

Beyond the Self: Contemporary Portraiture explores
the representation of the self in current South and

awareness, mobility and altered economic and

to use self-portraiture to navigate between new and
existing cultural boundaries, and challenge traditional

Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia.
As well as presenting highlights from

Public Lecture
Democracy, Chinese Style
PARTICIPATION versus THE MASS LINE
The generally understood
concept of democracy
assumes that those who
participate in decision-making
stay inside the door of power
in the policy-making process,
while the public has the right
to push open
the door and
enter the
game.
What about a concept of
democracy in which the public
has a say in decision making? In
this forum, Professor Wang puts
forward that China has practiced
form as embodied in
such a for
mass-line (qunzhong
the term m
Chinese). This concept,
luxian in C
advocates that
or qunticipation,
qunticip
decision-makers must get outside
decision-m
of power and must seek
the door o
opinion “from
“fr
the masses”, so as
decisions that apply “to
to make d
masses”. This talk will discuss
the masse
between the two
key differences

concepts aand their respective
pros and ccons.
