AUS: KIM SMITH in MORPHIUM AT THE BUTTERFLY CLUB
Australian cabaret artist Kim Smith returns to Melbourne following his Adelaide Cabaret Festival debut with his show MORPHIUM at THE BUTTERFLY CLUB (204 Bank Street, South Melbourne, VIC - 03 96902000) on Thursday through Sunday, June 24th through 27th at 9:00 pm (8:00 pm on Sunday). Morphium is a dark and whimsical evocation of the decadence and decay of 1930s Europe. Singing in German, French, and English, Smith reinterprets works by Weimar-era composers, and modern-day artists alike, from Mischa Spoliansky and the Supremes, to Kurt Weill and Kylie Minogue, as he charts a ruinous path through the arrivals and departures of a neo-Weimar, musical misfit. Amanda Hodder accompanies on piano, Christian Coulson directs. Morphium premiered in March 2009 at the Neue Galerie's Cafe Sabarsky in New York, before touring to Australia to perform exclusively at The Butterfly Club. Morphium has since returned to Cafe Sabarsky, and performed at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, and at Don't Tell Mama NYC. Call for cover/minimum information.
