About

The House of the Heart 《心之宫殿》

Finucane & Smith return with their stunning cocktail of cabaret for the head, the heart and all the senses, to the luckiest place in town, the Chinese Museum’s Dragon Gallery. A cornucopia of extraordinary singers, dancers and storytellers in a work that swirls across language and culture to explore home, family and how we create a sense of place, and heart-felt belonging in this country we all call home. 

Greeted at the door by dragon-diva art-alchemist herself Moira Finucane, and starring acclaimed indie pop star Sophie Koh, First Nations Ngarluma jazz blues legend Lois Olney, accompanied by brilliant guitarist Dave Johnson, musical genius Rachel Lewindon, cellist Xiao Xiao, dance storyteller Paul Cordeiro, rising star Zitao Deng, virtuoso Isabel Finucane, and a galaxy of guest stars; divine diva Mama Alto, country stars Yorta Yorta/Wiradjuri star Glennys Briggs and dashing & dulcet Ian Muir, bellydance goddess Raksha Parsnani, 88 yar old songbird Shirley Cattunar, barkeep songbirds Kate Foster, Jens Radda and Lachlan Bartlett in an intimate, velvet draped cabaret, with table seating, drinks at the bar, and dragons all around. What a way to welcome the Year of the Dragon!
