EWF X & Performance

EWF X AMWP: Spillways

Speaking more than one language doesn’t split the self, it expands it. Each linguistic stream travels a different course but ultimately pours into a single body. Eventually, a multifaceted, multilingual flood emerges from this merging, and sometimes we are lucky enough to witness it. Join EWF and the Australian Multilingual Writing Project at the Immigration Museum for a line-up of more languages than there are artists. In this fluid display of literature, writers will perform in Urdu, Hindi, French, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, English and Spanish to promise an evening of waterworks.

*Ticket sales are available at the door. Please see our lovely staff for assistance.

Presented in partnership with Museums Victoria.
