Q Theatre Company

MASH UP

Classic Poetry. Fresh Eyes

20 – 21 May and 27 – 28 May 11am

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 28 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.

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