Ghan Tracks
One part radio play, one part installation and one part musical performance, Ghan Tracks is all parts better than your average doco.
Overview
If regular documentaries are boring you, banish the yawns and have a peek at what Jon Rose has been up to lately. Ghan Tracks is the master new-music maker's latest documentary that is part radio play, part installation and part musical performance — plenty to keep your eyes and ears focused.
Inspired by the famous train line that stretches from Adelaide to Darwin, Rose (30 Ways with Time and Space) includes original film footage of the Afghan Express and dwells on ideas of progress within an Australian perspective. With help from Sydney's Ensemble Offspring and Melbourne's Speak Percussion, Ghan Tracks combines video projections, live instrumentation and experimental sounds that will see some everyday objects take a musical change of vocation.
Ghan Tracks nestles in comfortably as part of Performance Space's Score season, a five-week festival bursting at the seams with sound, dance, music and live art.
