| Summary |
"Conceived as a revisionist memory work, Brindabella extrapolates Artistic Director Phillip Adams' personal reflections of childhood family excursions. He saw the ranges as a spiritual and strange underworld of forest inhabitants. The Brindabella Ranges are notoriously dangerous; many a walker or camper has been lost within the mountains. Brindabella erupts as a baroque fantasia, adapted from the French folktale La Belle at la Bete. The narritive plays with the notion of habitation and eventful situations of hysteria and displacement central to Australian cultural identity. The Australian bush is unforgiving and so fantastic. Like a French garden, if you're ill prepared it is remorseless in its intensity if you enter it naively. The charm and seductive danger of the bush is what makes it so appealing. Fred Williams, one of the most significant painters of Australian landscape has actually captured the sense of sparseness combined with heavy woodlands that creates the Australian Bush " --Website |
