MASH UP is Australian poetry as you’ve never seen (or heard) it before.

 

21 to 29 May, 2010

Don’t miss the world premiere of the Q Theatre Company’s brand new production.

MASH UP
Classic Poetry. Fresh Eyes.

Featuring the poems of AB (Banjo) Paterson, Kenneth Slessor, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Judith Wright, Gwen Harwood, Peter Skrzynecki and Douglas Stewart

Three actors, a sound artist and a video artist take a fresh look at a selection of poems from seven of Australia’s most celebrated poets.

The Q Theatre Company kick starts its producing arm with a new contemporary theatre work that captures the beauty and the pain of Australia’s poetic landscape.

From the eccentricity of ‘Mulga Bill’s Bicycle’, the majesty of 'Five Bells' and the scenic awe of ‘South of My Days’ to the shock of ‘Barn Owl’, the deep sadness of 'We Are Going' and the haunting spirit of ‘Ancestors’, join our artists on their unconventional expedition to reclaim Australian poetry for a new generation.

8pm Friday 21, Saturday 22, Friday 28 and Saturday 29 May + 2pm Saturday 22 and Saturday 29 May
