| Amala Kirtan
|
|
Date: Thursday 22nd JulyVenue: Byron Theatre KirtanAustralia.com is proud to present Amala Kirtan, on his first visit to Australia. Born in Brazil to a family of kirtaniyas, Amala spent years in his youth in Bengal, India, studying the Bengali style of singing. Amala has been called the "Pavarotti of Kirtan". His first album "Moon Over India" showcased his impressive vocal range and fused his Brazilian heritage with traditional Bengali kirtan to produce a truly unique sound. That unique voice reached a wider world audience when Amala released the collaborative album "The Turning Point" with Vaiyasaki. Now based in Dallas, Texas, he delights the local kirtaniyas there with his exceptional voice and harmonium playing. Amala also returns twice a year to Brazil, where he is a mainstay in the Brazilian 24 hour kirtan festival. Amala will be accompanied on his Australian tour by local kirtan band "World Sankirtan Party", who supported Dave Stringer, Jai Uttal, and Madhava on their recent Australian tours.

| Winters Discontent
|
|
Date: Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th JulyVenue: Byron Theatre William Zappa in Winters Discontent
Revealing, funny and moving, Winter's Discontent is a theatrical tour de force from one of Australia's finest actors. Best known for his award winning work with Bell Shakespeare, Sydney Theatre Company and Ensemble Theatre, William Zappa has twice received major awards for his portrayal of Thenardier, the Inn Keeper in Les Miserables, the role which inspired him to write Winters Discontent.
In this play, Robert Winter is sitting backstage in the dressing room of a run down theatre. He is on an interminable tour of a one-man show. With only his stage manager, Mo, for company, the line between reality and play acting becomes blurred as Winter struggles to believe in his life and to live up to his theatrical creed- the show must go on.
With a command of language and stage craft that is astonishing, William Zappa exposes the actors joy and despair as his hero faces his personal demons and the tragedy of his own life.
His powers of physical characterisation are amazing and mesmerizing SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
This great show, William Zappa celebrates thetransformative power of theatre and its layers THE AUSTRALIAN
