Event Details
Alison Pratt (nee Eddington), the 1995 Australian Young Performer of the Year, returns to WAAPA to perform Minoru Miki’s electrifying Marimba Spiritual. Sparks fly as Joshua Webster responds with the Australian premiere of Nebojsa Zivkovic’s thrilling Uneven Souls, before Defying Gravity fires up the space-age bachelor-pad grooves of Jonathan Newman’s Stereo Action... and unleashes the demonic energy of Chris Rouse’s voodoo classic Ogoun Badagris.
