AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'An “instrumental opera” loosely set in the 70s, Share House follows five dysfunctional bandmates sharing a dishevelled flat and interwoven life; full of warmth, fun and unrequited love.'
'The housemates make their squalor bearable through making music, but they can’t ignore it forever. Disaster strikes, forcing each of them to face hard realities.'
'Portraying fictional characters while playing intricate original music, Topology explores an unprecedented mode of performance fusing physical theatre and music – a wordless narrative conveyed through virtuosic instrumentation.' (Source: Brisbane Powerhouse Arts website)
