Ephemera

Cabaret
South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Part love, part compost. Part prayer, part epitaph.

Enter an intimate immersion of sound and storytelling.

 

With words by award-winning poet and performer Tessa Leon, and classical guitar from acclaimed musician Adam Whiting, this is a confluence of two lifelong artists returning to their crafts from distant pasts.

Suspended in the spaces between silence and meaning, this concert is an exquisite de-composition of mortality and mathematics, modern romance and emojis. 

'Ephemera' is a spellbinding and life-affirming reminder of the piercing beauty of the temporary. 

 

This performance is enshrined inside the Museum of Economic Botany. Curated by Emma Knights Productions for The Botanic Gardens.
