Hydra: Songs and Tales of Bohemia Melbourne Music Week

13/11/2015

0 Comments

FYI,

Hydra: Songs and Tales of Bohemia

Hydra: Songs and Tales of Bohemia will weave music, song, documentary footage and narrative to recreate the Zeitgeist of the Greek island of Hydra in the 1960s. From Leonard Cohen to Allen Ginsberg, Sidney Nolan to Peter Finch, artists gravitated around the glamorous Australian literary couple George Johnston and Charmian Clift on this tiny Aegean island in a time of rebellion, romance and creativity.
Through the songs of Leonard Cohen, Chris Fatouros and Spiros Falieros will recreate the period across three nights at the inaugural MPavilion, Hellenic Museum courtyard. A bar will be open serving Greek mezze and drinks throughout the night.

Co-presented with the Hellenic Museum
