Performed 12-15 July 2023, Ainslie Arts Centre, CANBERRA
A dark and dream-like cabaret about love, death and telling the truth
It is 5 minutes to midnight. A woman welcomes you into an empty space. She sings for you, transforming into an iconic cabaret performer before your eyes. Suddenly, a ticking clock interrupts, and the woman is hurtled into a show she can no longer control.
Finale is an irreverent wink at our greatest fear. It is a celebration of the worst that can happen. A surprising journey towards the inevitable.
Moya Simpson, brings a lifetime of experience to this musical tour de force. Alongside seasoned musicians, John Black and Jonathan “Jonesie” Jones, this work will make you want to sing out loud as the world falls apart.
Written and directed by Tracy Bourne, Finale is the culmination of 10 years of dreaming about the ultimate performance.
