Sounds Absurd - Sydney

Sounds Absurd explores the theatrics of music with an absurd program that is sure to challenge and amuse. In collaboration with physical theatre performer and director, Carlos Gomes, Sounds Absurd features music by the recently departed Mauricio Kagel; a new work by Australia's own Kagel expert Moya Henderson, and Richard Ayres' 34b which includes a secret waltz to be performed in countries or at times when dancing is forbidden. From painful body slapping to upside-down cellos in drag, join us as we take the theatrics of music to the extreme.
