Making their long-awaited return to the Opera House bearing the fruits of over a decades-long collaboration that started at the Graphic Festival, legendary writer Neil Gaiman and renowned string quartet FourPlay present the World Premiere of their ARIA-nominated debut album, Signs of Life.

WHERE:
Sydney Opera House

Location: Melbourne (AUS)
Thursday, 7:30pm

Signs of Life is a ground-breaking and genre-bending collaboration. Part songwriting, part poetry, part story-telling; all-encompassing, all-engaging, all beautiful.

Neil Gaiman (Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline) is one of the most beloved and celebrated writers of our times. His work transcends genre, age and format; and arcs across novels, television, film, short stories, comic books, radio plays, theatre and more.

FourPlay String Quartet are an utterly unique proposition in the world of string quartets. Much more of a band than a classical ensemble, FourPlay improvise, jam out ideas and use extended instrumental techniques and effects to create startlingly original sounds.

One night only; this is not to be missed.

Friends of the Central Library presents
at The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater
A Conversation with Neil Gaiman and Art Spiegelman

The unique duo are respected friends and will be in conversation to close out
FOCLs 29th season.

In 1992, Spiegelman won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust
narrative Mau which portrayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. Maus II
continued the remarkable story of his parents survival of the Nazi regime
and their lives later in America. He was elected a member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters and in 2018 received the Edward MacDowell Medal, the first-ever given in comic art.

Gaiman makes a return to our series and is considered by many as one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His popular and critically acclaimed works bend genres while reaching audiences of all ages. Gaiman's groundbreaking Sandman comics, which received nine Eisner Awards, was described by Stephen King as having turned graphic novels into art.
