You’ll step into an underground treasure lair dripping with visual art relics\, an otherworldly choir\, and skin-shedding tales to witness the ultimate showdown – art vs extinction – who will win in the race to the end of the world? \nThe Rapture is immersed in a visual and aural landscape created by internationally renowned sculptors William Eicholtz & Catherine Lane; visual artists from Arts Projects Australia; sonic genius Shinjuku Thief and a catacomb choir of beyond-genre voices: from heavenly voiced counter-tenor diva Mama Alto\, smoky chanteuse Clare St Clare and 82-year-old heartbreaking songbird Shirley Cattunar. \nFinucane & Smith Unlimited are globally acclaimed for their all-encompassing entertainments. In the last 5 years\, they’ve repeatedly become an Australian first; taking their cult-hit works – from drama to cabaret – to major festivals worldwide. The Rapture is no exception\, mixing the erotic and the gothic\, the hysterical and the apocalyptic\, the sacred and the profane\, all with table seating\, and drinks at the bar. \n★★★★★ ‘Finucane is ‘the original’ of our time. The Rapture challenges ignorance\, caresses the innocent foreheads of all children and ignites the healing of humanity.’  Theatrepeople \n★★★★ The Rapture ‘…dances across a fine line between the ecstasy of hope and the tragedy of disillusionment.’ The Age \n‘It’s a strange and darkly beautiful creation that you won’t quickly forget.’ Australian Stage\n \n\nPlease note: performance contains haze and nudity \nwww.finucaneandsmith.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/finucanesmith/ \nThe Age Spectrum article[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Cast and Creatives” tab_id=”1452941644640-19a0de81-e87a0201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c5878e-6012″][vc_column_text]Writer and Performer: Moira Finucane\nThe Choir: Mama Alto\, Clare St Clare\, Shirley Cattunar & Miss Chief on the keys\nDirectors: Moira Finucane with Jackie Smith\nDramaturgy: Nicholas Dorward\nComposers: Darrin Verhagen & Ben Keene\nVisual Artists: sculptors William Eicholtz & Catherine Lane & the artists of Arts Project Australia\nCouturiers: Gun Shy\, Anastasia La Fey\, Keon Couture\nLighting Design: Simon Hardy. \nAbout Finucane & Smith  \nFinucane & Smith are an Australian based performance company globally acclaimed for their complex and visually intricate productions\, from cabaret to drama\, to richly-detailed immersive carnivals and gallery installations.
