Brisbane Festival: Memorial
September 7, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - September 9, 2018 @ 5:00 pm
$52 – $69
Queensland Performing Arts Centre presents Alice Oswald’s Memorial. The play is an exquisite elegy for each of the 215 dead soldiers named in Homer’s Iliad. In this richly layered, epic theatrical experience, Helen Morse brings impassioned life to Oswald’s words inside an other-worldly score by Golden Globe nominee Jocelyn Pook (Eyes Wide Shut), performed by an extraordinary ensemble of international musicians. All the while, a 215 strong community chorus drawn from Brisbane moves as a haunting and uplifting presence across the stage.
