Watching Pam Ayers take centre stage at the QPAC concert hall for her latest show was a wonderfully warm, laughter-filled experience.

To hear the end of Act I sung as it was last night by singers dressed in extremely gorgeous outfits, complete with elaborate jewellery, is – well, you come away feeling you’ve had chocolate all evening.

Are they trapped wandering delirious through the foggy dreams and fanciful memories of the past or are they imprisoned by their respective mortal coils, the drudgery and meaninglessness of their present lives?

An audio-visual performance piece devised by Mr Maps, You Are Here finds the Brisbane instrumental rock ensemble attempting to offer a genuinely different experience to their audiences.

This is the second time Motherboard Productions have performed Jean Cocteau’s La Voix Humaine this year.

As part of Lior’s By Request tour, the audience gets the chance to request songs from any of his three studio albums or a cover of, well, just about anything.

The theme of the performance is ritual and more specifically what the work explores is ritual both shared and unique in Australian and Chinese cultures.
