Dr Christian Thompson AO presents Recital, a rare performance and rendition of sound works presented to a live audience. Informed by two decades of recorded sound practice, Recital is a live re-imagining of Thompson’s traditional language, Bidjara. Now categorised as an extinct language, Recital is the live revival of the Bidjara language, motivated by the notion that just a single spoken word re-classifies it as a living one. Complementing his globally recognised oeuvre of video work, Recital will deliver the sensory experience of language and sound that is powerfully connected to both past and present.
