Feast began in 1997 a by group of arts and community cultural workers. Margie Fischer, Damien Carey, Helen Bock and Luke Cutler worked together to create a community arts festival for the lesbian and gay community in Adelaide.

Presently, Feast is a major event on the festival calendar in South Australia. It is a truly international event, bringing performers from all over the world and attracting visitors from near and far.

Higher Ground has been proud to have a strong involvement in this fantastic and rapidly growing festival for a number of years and 2011 is no different, with Higher Ground hosting 2 theatre pieces as part of this year's program.

Margie Fischer's parents were Austrian Jews who fled from Vienna to China to escape the Holocaust. After 10 years in Shanghai they came to Australia as refugees.

Margie lived with her extended family in the house her father built in Sydney. Her grandparents died there, so did her brother. When both her parents also died Margie was left to clear out the house.

While doing this she became fascinated with what is left when loved ones die. Throughout this time she documented her feelings and the processes involved. The Dead Ones explores her family stories through storytelling and photography.

William and Will are two poets. Best of friends, they each set out on a journey to find out how to live their lives, make their art and to find out how love fits in to all of this. When Will meets Kate - a street prostitute - and William leaves his lover Henry, their perceptions of love, art, and life are dramatically re-structured. Where are the lines between love and lust, art and obsession, life and disease?

This is what you get when you combine over-sexed youths with the Greatest poet in the history of the English language.
