“Rapper, poet, author and visual artist, Omar Musa is arguably one of the most exciting creators in Australia right now” — The New York Times Style Magazine: Australia Mariel Roberts Musa: a “fearless explorer” in her field (Chicago Reader) and member and co-director of the Wet Ink Ensemble (named “The Best Classical Music Ensemble of 2018” by The New York Times).  The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio)  “When the world drowned, we had lived in the fire so long it felt mundane.” Turtle eggs. Volcanos. A plastic ocean. Award-winning Malaysian-Australian author, poet and rapper Omar Musa and internationally renowned American cellist and composer Mariel Roberts Musa bring a dramatic seafaring epic to the stage with The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio). Set on a post-apocalyptic world, the show combines storytelling, poetry, hip hop and live cello with sound recordings made in Bornean forests and coral reefs. Using Omar's family history in Borneo as a springboard, The Offering grapples with themes such as environmental destruction, climate change, South-East Asian colonial history, belonging and borderlessness. Think The Odyssey, set in a post-apocalypse South-East Asia, performed by Gil Scott-Heron. Artist biographies Omar Musa is an award-winning Bornean-Australian poet, rapper, author and visual artist. He has published four volumes of poetry, four hip hop albums and the acclaimed one-man play Since Ali Died. His debut novel Here Come the Dogs was was long-listed for the Dublin International Literary Award and the Miles Franklin Award, and Musa was named one of the Sydney Morning Herald's Young Novelists of the Year. Musa's work of poetry and woodcuts Killernova won the Special Book Award at the ACT Notable Book Awards, was longlisted for the Australian Literary Society Gold Medal and received an honourable mention for the ACT Book of The Year. His second novel Fierceland comes out through Penguin Random House Australia and PRH South-East Asia in September. American cellist and composer Mariel Roberts Musa is widely recognized not just for her virtuosic performances, but as a “fearless explorer” in her field (Chicago Reader). Her deep commitment to collaboration and experimentation as an interpreter, improvisor, and composer have helped create a body of work which bridges avant-garde, contemporary, classical, improvised, and traditional music. Roberts is widely recognized for her “technical and interpretive mastery” (I care if you listen) and for performances which seethe with “excruciating intensity” (The Whole Note). Roberts has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician across four continents, most notably as a member and co-director of the Wet Ink Ensemble (named “The Best Classical Music Ensemble of 2018” by The New York Times), as well as with the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Mivos Quartet, Bang on a Can All Stars, and Ensemble Signal. www.omarmusa.com.au www.marielroberts.com

&quot;The bagpipes came from afar, I only care about your news. The castle is a secret for love, and I am a memory for you.&quot; This is the location of Zhou Dong&#39;s &quot;Ming Ming&quot; MV, and the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s Harry Potter creation. If you dream of a medieval ancient city in a magical world, you must visit here in your life. Every building is a natural film background, and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world. Eventually, when the sunset in Carlton Hill confiscated time, Edinburgh, becoming an ever-fading amber, will remain in my memory.
