Secrets, lies and killer anthems.
This staged concert of Madame Carandini’s Travelling Musical Curiosity Show, currently a work-indevelopment at Metro Arts, features the original composition by John Rodgers, performed by acclaimed vocalists Sandro Colarelli and Geraldine Turner, and renowned musicians Mark Atkins, Sallie Campbell and John Rodgers. The concert weaves together the exotic sounds of such curious instruments as the bowed psaltery, nyckelharpa, glass harmonica and didgeridoo.
Madame Carandini’s Travelling Musical Curiosity Show is inspired by the legend of explorer, Christie Palmerston. Known as a enigmatic anti-hero, his notorious legacy is a colourful embellishment between fact, legend and cultural extremes. The wilderness of North Queensland is enrolled as an unlikely backdrop to an innately Australian gothic tale, by Stephen Carleton.
