EPHEMERA

Part love, part compost. Part prayer, part epitaph.

Ephemera is an intimate poetic immersion of sound and storytelling. With words by award-winning writer and performer Tessa Leon, and guitar music from acclaimed musician Adam Whiting, this is a confluence of two lifelong artists returning to their crafts from distant pasts.

Suspended in the spaces between silence and meaning, this exquisite de-composition invites you to ponder mortality and mathematics, mythology and maggots, modern romance and emojis. It is a life-affirming and spellbinding reminder of the piercing beauty of the temporary.

Ephemera premiered at the 2023 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Set inside the Museum of Economic Botany for The Botanic Gardens.
