On Tuesday, September 3rd, La Trobe University and The Australian Ballet held an enlightening event entitled “Oscar: A Literary Love Affair”
To support the new ballet from The Australian Ballet, Oscar©—based on the life and writings of Oscar Wilde—the event aimed to explore the cultural influences on Oscar Wilde’s own literary output (particularly his philhellenism, a love affair with classical antiquity) as well as the ways that his work has impacted later generations of writers, artists, critics and curators.
Included in the panel as moderator was PFA’s own patron Dennis Altman.
Proceeds from ticket sales have been donated to Pride Foundation Australia to support our work with LGBTQIA+ refugees and people seeking asylum. We thank The Australian Ballet and La Trobe University for using this occasion as an opportunity to support us.
