1 2 The Little Green Road to Fairyland Annie R. Rentoul , 2011 single work musical theatre 'A vintage Australian children's book, long out of print, has been brought back to life through a magical new composition and dance theatre work for this centrepiece event of QMF 2011.
Two of Australia's top-tier creative practitioners - composer Elena Kats-Chernin and director/choreographer Rosetta Cook - have together crafted a new interpretation of the 1922 whimsy, The Little Green Road to Fairyland.
This world premiere work comprises an exquisite musical score enhanced for live performance by dance, movement, physical theatre, song and narration.
Featuring the stunning vocals of Katie Noonan and narrated by Christine Johnston, this QMF commission blurs conventional boundaries of "family entertainment" with its simultaneous embrace of make-believe storytelling and contemporary music supplemented by dance.
The tale is set against an Australian bush backdrop and tells of a fairy questing to return from the mortal world to Fairyland after relinquishing fairyhood for human form.' (Source: QTIX website)
