Written and directed by TAMA MATHESON Starring TAMA MATHESON and KARIN SCHAUPP
Lord Byron’s self described ‘epic satire’ of Don Juan transforms the legendary womaniser into the one easily seduced. Reimagined by writer and director Tama Matheson with soloist Karin Schaupp, it is an extraordinary interlocking blend of music, poetry and extracts from Byron’s own intriguing and scandalous life.
Karin Schaupp interweaves solo guitar music from Turina, Pujol, Tàrrega and more with Matheson’s performance, resulting in an adventurous musical, theatrical and literary experience filled with love, hilarity and high drama. It becomes almost impossible to distinguish the poem from real life stories.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
