Details
Deborah was a
White Baptist Abba Fan long before she became a gay Koori opera singer. Taken from her Aboriginal mother as an infant, she was raised in a religious, middle class home. Using song, both contemporary and classical, Deborah's remarkable story of identity and fulfilment is told with an ironic humour and vocal skill that is totally transfixing.
White Baptist Abba Fan/Box the Pony - Performed as a double bill these two one-woman shows get their London premieres courtesy of the 'Heads Up', Australian Arts 100' festival to celebrate the centenary of the Australian Federation in London.
