Mama Kin Spender Promises & Wild Beasts
A map of buried feelings, untended fires and an aching quest for redemption. Promises & Wild Beasts is Mama Kin Spender as you’ve never seen (or heard) them before. In an eerily relatable theatrical debut, they take you on a transformative story strung through a cycle of songs drawn from their recent ARIA-nominated concept album Promises . Backed by gospel harmonies they conjure the wild tidal nature of human desire, charting the domestication of romantic love and the inevitable rupturing of the illusions we project upon it. This show is a rally cry to the heart – don’t miss it. Wed 18 & Thu 19 Feb doors 7pm, show 8pm AUSTRALIA / WORLD PREMIERE Perth Town Hall Tickets $59

26 – 27 Feb Perth Town Hall Koorari/Perth CBD Duration 70mins
The opera-occasional, black bearded, drag diva Le Gateau Chocolat invites you into the most hallowed of spaces – the chamber where one transitions from performer to person. Here this world-renowned artiste will serenade you with a specially curated song-cycle of the works that have made him who he is. Stories told through song reveal a portrait of the undressed artist as man, shaped by experience, made by art – intimate, inspired, human, exposed. Lurching from pop to opera via folk song, musical theatre, disco and more, this is a veritable mixtape of who Gateau was, who Gateau is and who Gateau hopes to become. This is Le Gateau Chocolat at his most delicious. This is Raw Cacao .
