Robyn Davidson | Byron Theatre
2023-12-08 18:00 - 19:30 | Byron Theatre, 69 Jonson Street, Byron Bay, New South Wales, 2481, Australia
Byron Writers Festival is thrilled to present Robyn Davidson, explorer and author of the international bestseller Tracks, for an intimate conversation with Zacharey Jane about her memoir Unfinished Woman at Byron Theatre on Friday 8 December.
Davidson’s free spirit has taken her off the beaten path motivated by an unquenchable curiosity about other ways of seeing and understanding the world. Best known for her epic solo odyssey across the Australian outback with four camels & a dog in 1977, Davidson’s first book Tracks was an international sensation, later adapted into a film starring Mia Wasikowska and Adam Driver.
Now, Davidson has turned to explore the terrain she had avoided the most – the past. Hailed as ‘an extraordinary memoir about an extraordinary life’ (Nikki Gemmell), Unfinished Woman is an unforgettable investigation of time and memory, and a powerful interrogation of how we can live with and find beauty in the uncertainty and strangeness of being.
Join Robyn Davidson as she discusses her brave and revealing memoir, which asks the eternal question: how do we learn to be ‘at home everywhere’?
Book your tickets now to this special event with one of the most adventurous writers in Australian literature. Friday 8 December, 6pm at Byron Theatre.

The Byron Theatre is celebrating with one of Australia’s hottest Cuban bands this February when they celebrate one of the landmark music documentaries of all time. Directed by Wim Wenders, Buena Vista Social Club documents a group of legendary Cuban musicians, some as old as their nineties, being brought out of retirement by Ry Cooder to record a CD that captured the flavour of a musical style all but forgotten in the west following Castro’s takeover of Cuba
The resulting film and album became classics and in 2003 the album was ranked number 260 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, one of only two albums on the list to be produced in a non-English speaking country. In 2022, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.
This special event features a screening of the film on the big screen at Byron Theatre, followed by a special live performance by Caribé.
Caribé is a melding of musicians and dancers from Sydney’s Cuban, jazz and Latin communities. The music and choreography integrates elements of traditional Cuban dance and music with a modern jazz aesthetic. The show is an immersive experience combining incredible dancing, chanting, jazz-inspired compositions and archival footage of Cuban musicians.

Dustyesky meet Aleksandr Dovzhenko’s Earth | Bangalow Film Festival
2024-03-14 19:30 - 21:00 | A&I Hall Bangalow, 3 Station Street, Bangalow, NSW, 2479, Australia
The much beloved choir Dustyesky return to the stage with their very first film concert!
The choir will accompany the screening of the Aleksandr Dovzhenko’s 1930 masterpiece Earth (Zemlya) for an extraordinary meeting of voices and film.
Earth is celebrated by film critics as one of cinema’s supreme visual masterpieces.
Commissioned to make propaganda for Stalin’s farm collectivization, the acclaimed Ukranian filmmaker Alexander Dovzhenko instead delivered an impassioned hymn to nature, following the farmer Vassily as he opposed the coming of collective farming.
The secret of Dustyesky is lost in the misty undergrowth of famous Mullumgrad hinterland. Like the recipe for gherkin liqueur, the magic of their music lies in the heart of all of us, but never one man alone. Your heart will soar. You will smile and cry. For sure. As rough as sawmiller’s beard as gentle as his touch, Dustyesky is elusive yet eternal. Like the wind of the Siberian steppes, we shall blow within you forever…
​From the Dustyeksy’s;
“We were excited to be invited to provide the soundtrack to Earth. In respect to our approach to providing the soundtrack, we will be singing a repertoire in most part from the Soviet period the film was set, with roughly equal balance of Russian and Ukrainian traditional songs. If we had more time we would sing exclusively from the period. Our intention and why we chose these songs has to do with our belief that often it is from periods of the greatest challenges that the most significant and powerful of art is created. Taking direction from Dostoevsky, we celebrate the human experience and the art that was influenced during these times of great human hardship and despair. The music we have chosen comes from a place of respect. We believe that great music stands the test of time, that it can be uplifting and joyous, even though it might have come from a place of pain and despair. Songs can be captured, can be propagandised and can feed us complex emotions. We sing them for humanity and not for any state or political agenda.”
Having sold out two shows at the Sydney Opera House to standing ovations back in May 2021, the accidental global phenomenon that is Dustyesky finally return to the stage for a very special one off performance for the Bangalow Film Festival.
