House of the Heart at Chinese Museum

Celebrating Lunar New Year in the luckiest place in Melbourne, internationally acclaimed cabaret provocateurs Finucane & Smith meld the ancient with the contemporary for House of the Heart - a stunning cocktail of cabaret for the head, the heart and all the senses.

For two weeks only, the Chinese Museum’s Dragon Gallery will become a velvety lair filled with
song, opera, storytelling and dance particularly spotlighting Chinese, Chinese diaspora and First Nations artists.

The work swirls across language and culture to explore home, family and how we create a sense of place, and heart-felt belonging.

Hosted by head diva and art alchemist Moira Finucane, House of the Heart stars acclaimed pop and cabaret star Sophie Koh, Indigenous Ngarluma jazz blues legend Lois Olney with guitarist Dave Johnston, musical genius Rachel Lewindon, cellist Xiao Xiao, dancer Paul Cordeiro, Angel on Earth  Mama Alto, and rising star Zi Tao with awarded Musical Director Rachel Lewindon in an intimate, velvet draped cabaret, with table seating, drinks at the bar and surrounded by large scale processional dragons all around.
