SUMMARY:Once On This Island
DESCRIPTION:A tale of one young girl as she fearlessly follows her heart\, defying even the expectations of the Gods\nFrom the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical\, Ragtime) comes the Olivier Award-winning Once on This Island. This vibrant adaptation infuses its Caribbean roots with Australia’s own rich cultural tapestry\, injecting new life into the Hans Christian Anderson tale\, The Little Mermaid. \nTi Moune\, a humble peasant girl\, courageously saves the life of Daniel\, a wealthy boy from the far side of the island\, and soon finds herself captivated by love. Little does she know\, the island’s proud Gods wager on a timeless question: which is stronger\, love or death? The unwitting pawn in their bet\, Ti Moune’s life hangs in the balance as she follows her heart. \nThis energetic and radiant score is carried by a poignant tale of love\, sacrifice\, and the transformative power of storytelling.

SUMMARY:The Half Life of Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE \nWhen two Nobel Prizes prove inadequate armour against a scandalous affair\, Marie Curie turns to fellow scientist and trusted confidant Hertha Ayrton for literal and emotional sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Art From Behind The Wire
DESCRIPTION:Art From Behind the Wire is a new exhibition featuring posters\, magazines and other printed material created by Second World War prisoners of war\, including Major John Champion de Crespigny. \nJohn was among thousands of Australians made prisoners by the Japanese in the early months of 1942. Captivity at the hands of the Japanese is remembered for merciless brutality however the initial experience in some camps was not harsh. To maintain the morale of the inmates\, Champion de Crespigny and others made posters and produced a magazine\, Mark Time\, during their time as POWs in Java. \nThis extraordinary collection offers a glimpse into the uncertainties of life as captives of a cruel and unpredictable enemy. \nThe exhibition also includes four sketches of the Japanese war crimes trials held on Morotai in December 1945\, drawn by Signalman Alex King\, a talented professional newspaper artist. King served with the Australian Corps of Signals and was able to observe some of the trials firsthand. \nThese unique original sketches capture the moment when Japanese soldiers attended makeshift courts sitting in the witness chair. They offer a rare insight into both the trial process and the individuals accused of war crimes.

SUMMARY:24th Biennale of Sydney - Ten Thousand Suns
DESCRIPTION:Ten Thousand Suns departs from an acknowledgement of a multiplicity of perspectives\, cosmologies\, and ways of life that have always woven together the world under the sun. This central life-giving body\, like the world it shines light upon\, has otherwise been known under thousands of different words in as many languages. But many of these cultural viewpoints have in fact not relied on a vision of a single sun. \nA multiplicity of suns conveys ambiguous images. It evokes a scorching world\, both in several cosmological visions and very much in our moment of climate emergency. But it also conveys the joy of cultural multiplicities affirmed\, of First Nations understandings of the cosmos brought to the fore\, and of carnivals as forms of resistance in contexts that have surpassed colonial oppression. The 24th Biennale of Sydney works with these different layers of meaning\, acknowledging the deep ecological crises derived from colonial and capitalist exploitation while refusing to concede to an apocalyptic vision of the future. This politics of doom are seen as an attempt by the same forces that have caused these multiple crises to control possibilities to overcome them. The 24th Biennale of Sydney proposes instead solar and radiant forms of resistance that affirm collective possibilities around a future that is not only possible\, but necessary to be lived in joy and plenitude\, produced in common and shared widely. \nAround this central theme and ethos\, the 24th Biennale of Sydney goes deeper into different connected threads. One of them is the history and the imagination around the atomic era\, as a concentrated version of the history of climate alteration through human exploitation\, but also as a specific history that places Australia at the core of the atomic era which has largely been staged in the broader Pacific region. Another thread follows a lineage of largely repressed or misconstrued moments that have been crucial in the history of Australia and have involved relations with the Muslim world. These include the complex exchanges between First Nations and Muslim Makassars over many centuries; the history of cameleers from across South and West Asia\, trafficked to the country in the 19th century and later exiled due to the introduction of the White Australia policy; the formation of an Australian national identity as a consequence to the loss at Gallipoli in the First World War\, orchestrated from London as an anti-jihad preventive campaign; Australia’s history of racist anti-migration policies\, as well as the broader role that Islamophobia plays in processes of othering in contemporary life in the country.

SUMMARY:Atmospheric Memory
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by computing pioneer Charles Babbage’s proposal that the air is a ‘vast library’ storing every word ever spoken\, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s breathtaking immersive art environment invites audiences to celebrate the turbulence and tumult of the atmosphere: invisible but precious\, filled with voices and history. \nIf we could ‘rewind’ air molecules to recreate all voices of the past\, whose voice would you want to hear?

SUMMARY:Paradise Camp by Yuki Kihara
DESCRIPTION:Paradise Camp by Yuki Kihara and curated by Natalie King\, comprises a suite of twelve tableau photographs in saturated colour\, situated against a vast wallpaper of a landscape decimated by the 2009 tsunami. Eleven of the works were shot on location in Sāmoa\, from rural villages to churches\, plantations and heritage sites\, with a local cast and crew of over eighty people. \nKihara’s performative photography upcycles select paintings by post-impressionist French artist Paul Gauguin in a suite of images that repurpose his paintings created during his time in the Islands of Tahiti and the Marquesas between 1891 and 1903. Kihara problematises Gauguin’s outsized legacy by re-enacting his paintings back in the Pacific\, paying careful attention to the details of his works. These re-enactments instill a Polynesian inflection to each photograph and are based on strong personal relationships with Kihara’s sitters\, all of whom are part of the Fa‘afafine and Fa‘atama communities. Kihara works with these models to represent her own vision of paradise\, redirecting the viewer to the concerns of contemporary Pacific Islanders and ‘returning the gaze’ in a profound gesture of empowerment.
