*The Alliance Festival of Culture has entered its fifth week, focusing on a wide variety of theatre and dance performances. Crowds have flocked to New Caledonia in the [[Tionisla]] system to enjoy performance art from dozens of systems. Shows ranging from elaborate stage productions to amateur street recitals have offered classical operas, circus shows, theatrical plays and much more. Art critic Bryony Lindholm published this review on [[Vox Galactica]]: "While the entertainment on display has been nothing short of marvellous, a personal favourite has been the ballet 'Bones of Dreams'. It is performed by skeletal robot dancers made of scrap salvaged from the Tionisla orbital graveyard. It is a moving portrayal of inhumanity, and like most of the audience, I was left in tears despite – or perhaps because of – the absence of any sentient organisms depicting grand themes of grief and loss." The Alliance Festival of Culture continues next week in [[Alioth]] and will feature a presentation at the [[Garden City]] Gallery.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d5e9e9daf237f61756a428e GalNet: Tionisla Hosts Theatre and Dance Gala]</ref> | |||

*A celebration of literature at H.G. Wells Terminal in the [[Olgrea]] system is the focus of the fourth week of the Alliance Festival of Culture. Leyton Farris reported on the event for The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "Devotees of both modern and classic fiction have gathered to celebrate a shared love of literature and meet their favourite authors. The event is also an opportunity for writers to promote their work and attract new readers. One highlight has been local author Hanna Darrold releasing a novel titled 'Chronicles of Olgrea'. The book concerns a local author releasing a novel during a literature festival, and has become an instant bestseller in the metafiction category." Fans of the wildly popular Corsair King series expressed hope for an appearance by [[Olav Redcourt]], but he remains in seclusion working on his science fiction novel. A spokesperson for [[Bonespire Publishing]] suggested "Redcourt is risking financial ruin by trying to resuscitate a dead genre – nobody reads science fiction anymore."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d5578398d39913b1b2c851e GalNet: Fiction Fans Gather for Literary Event]</ref> | *A celebration of literature at H.G.
