Performance with Christine Johnson

Overview

Picture this for your next Sunday afternoon: watching a theatrically dressed performer make bird call noises, and play music on a saw.  Sounds a bit odd, yes?  That’s only if you haven’t seen Christine Johnston perform.

This incredibly talented performer, who is also a Kransky Sister, is bringing her unique brand of music to GoMA this Sunday.  Performing alongside her will be Gareth Skinner, again with his very different but very beautiful style of cello music.

Entry to this performance is free with your ticket purchase to the Surrealism exhibition, thus you really will have the surrealist experience - with the whacky art on the walls and the unique artist making birdcall noises.

Christine will perform in the character of big haired Madame Lark, she will explore the chatter and warbles of the different birds she learnt of as a child who had chooks in the backyard and a penchant for bushwalking.

Enjoy a journey into the rainforest, the seaside, the wild Australian bush and the farm as Christine takes on the personas of these feathered creatures.  You will soon forget you are in a landmark gallery and presume you have been transported amongst the trees… heavenly.
