The Spirit of Things explores the dispossession and spiritual repatriation of Indigenous cultural objects held in museum collections. The show developed over two years of residencies, research and creative development and seeks to awaken these objects, unlocking them through music, stories and performance to reconnect them with their communities and creators once more.
For this tour the Stiff Gins will be joined by musical collaborator Syd Green, director Felix Cross and lighting designer Fausto Brusamolino. Spirit of Things will also feature the stunning original visual design by Lucy Simpson and Mic Gruchy.
The Spirit of Things: The Sound of Objects was presented by Melbourne Recital centre un association with City of Melbourne as part of Yirramboi Festival.
