The Living Room Theatre

As part of Eastside Sydney Music Festival 8-concert Music Trail

Provoked by the opening of Charlotte Wood’s award-winning book ‘The Natural Way of Things’, theatre maker Michelle St Anne has composed a theatrical soundscape featuring musicians Mark Bosch (Violin), Josephine Macken (Base Flute), Max Alduca (Double Bass) and performers Renata Commisso, Imogen Cranna and Cloe Fournier..

Embodying the sound of the Australian Gothic, the music responds to the disorientation of Wood’s protagonist, Yolanda, in her new dystopian reality.

A detail from The Living Room Theatre’s upcoming production ‘the foul of the air’.
