A Migrant's Son
Direct from a sell-out Adelaide Cabaret Festival season, A Migrant's Son explores one of the most colourful times in Australian history, the arrival of the Greeks! Brought to life through original compositions, a live band and The Indie Mix Pop Choir led by Carol Young, this unique and touching account is both hard-hitting and hilarious.
Written and performed by award winning cabaret artist Michaela Burger (Exposing Edith), the show follows the story of a poor migrant, who defied all odds and rose above adversity. From deliveries for the family bakery at age seven to opal mines in Coober Pedy, he is an unstoppable force who is willing to sacrifice everything for family.
"A far-reaching generational story that crosses divides, ignites memories and pulls at your heart-strings...Burger's voice can stir your deepest and darkest emotions whilst enchanting your aural sensibilities." - Stage Whispers
"[In] her strikingly original show [Burger] stakes a credible claim to be one of Australia’s leading voices not only in cabaret, but much further afield." - The Advertiser
