Finding Connie
 

A lost voice. A hidden voice. A woman ahead of her time.

Finding Connie is a 60-minute concert interwoven with storytelling, uncovering the life and songs of Connie Converse — a songwriter who disappeared without a trace in 1974.

Written through the 1950s, Connie’s folk-inspired songs were never released in her lifetime. After her disappearance, her recordings remained virtually unheard for more than 35 years. When they finally resurfaced, they revealed a body of work that was intimate, fearless, and astonishingly ahead of its time.

Presented by Mirabilis Collective as part of FRINGE WORLD Festival, this reimagined Fringe show features a stripped-back quintet and the luminous voice of Luce Nicholls, bringing Connie’s music into the light.

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
