Artistic Director Louise Bezzina “absolutely did not” know that the 2025 Brisbane Festival would be her sixth and final edition of the city-spanning multi-arts festival when she began programming it. “But I think that it’s important to always work as if it’s your last, so that you make the most of every opportunity. And I’m glad that this festival is achieving and delivering a few things that I’ve been wanting to do for many years,” she explains.
“The walking bridges have been something I’ve been wanting to activate and bring to life as a stage for many years, so it’s so wonderful that that’s actually finally happening now – and [Craig and Karl] are particularly excited about the fact that it’s the biggest commission that they’ve ever had in their career, happening here in Brisbane, their hometown, where they met and connected. It’s just wonderful,” Bezzina tells ArtsHub.
