“Christine Johnston is one of Australia’s funniest and most radical performers and children simply love her. Last seen in Fluff as part of Windmill’s 2004 Little Season, Christine returns to Adelaide especially for Come Out 2005 bringing her eccentric and totally beguiling character, Madam Lark, to the gorgeous environs of the Botanic Gardens.”

Event Details

Enter a garden world and be taken under the wing of the much-loved, surreal Birdwoman character - Madam Lark. She takes us on a journey through voice and dramatic visuals, discovering humorous angles in which to interpret her observations of the everyday things around us.

Showcasing the indescribable talents of Christine Johnston, Madam Lark continues to surprise us with her ethereal warblings on Musical Saw; only in this world of squawks and feathers can this amazing instrument be nested with the enchanting tuba playing of Michele Watt.
