Boleros
Red Tide presents Boleros at Adelaide Fringe 2026—a powerful fusion of music and cinema celebrating the beloved Latin American bolero tradition. The show revives iconic songs from Coco, Breaking Bad, and In the Mood for Love, each accompanied by cinematic projections to connect audiences emotionally with the music’s cultural and narrative origins. Featuring a virtuoso bolero guitarist and vibrant arrangements for vocals, percussion, brass, strings, bass and guitars, Boleros invites all audiences—regardless of age, language, or background—into the heart of Latin American romance, heartbreak, and beauty. Brought by the creator of last year’s Fringe hit Tearing Down Pinochet, the show blends tradition, innovation, and inclusive storytelling in an unforgettable experience.
