The Australian Art Quartet (AAQ) returns to immerse audiences with their unique approach to art, providing a dream-like garden where music, botany and photography work together to deliver a night that will captivate the audience.
This performance is a correlation of the arts and an opportunity for the public to see something special with a few surprises embedded throughout.
Uniting their forces with passionate artists Saskia Havekes (Floral curator), Tony Assness (Set designer) and Gary Heery (Photographer), founder of AAQ James Beck, explained that they’ve never worked like this before, wanting to explore how to bring music and flora together.
“Flowers are exquisite because they are fragile, beauty can’t be taken for granted.”
Beck wanted to work with the best in the industry, joining Havekes who is passionate about drama and scale. The audience won’t only be watching and listening to the show, but they will also be consumed by it.
“Audiences will initially be overwhelmed by the space and all [the] senses will be assaulted. This is something that audiences haven’t experienced before.”
Every inch of the room has been artistically designed with a complete 360 degrees of photography attached to the walls. The overall purpose is to impact the audience and tell a dramatic story.
“The costume designs by Romance is Born go the extra mile, bringing fantasies to life and using visual stimuli to take the audience on a journey. It’s the audiences chance to see the best stuff usually reserved for the elite,” concluded Beck.
Mar 29- Mar 31. Yellow House Sydney, 57-59 MacLeay St, Potts Point. $75-85. Tickets & Info: www.yellowhousesydney.com.au
