The Paris Paradox

Event Duration: 60 minutes

How do you get to Paris with just a song in your heart and a dishcloth in your hands?  And if you get there, will it be all that you dreamed? Can you change your destiny with a Vision Board, a dream and a haunting melody?

Fiona Claire, Melbournian folk-pop songstress and finalist of the Darebin Songwriter’s Award, presents her unique, beautiful and absurd world.  She is Melbourne’s singing housewife – part starry-eyed folk, part storyteller, part pop, part cabaret, inviting you to join her on a quest to see what’s on the other side of the hill.  

Years of fulfilling domestic duties have left her yearning to step out of her ordinary life and learn how it feels to make day dreams reality – with all the nitty gritty, fear facing that may entail.   She wants to take everyone with her as she smashes her own limitations and sets her sites on the ultimate artist’s city – Paris.  Come on the musical, existential journey!

This is an intimate, real and funny show from a real Melbourne girl who’s friendly and warm style makes everyone in the audience her friend.  Topped off with carefully crafted songs that you will sing for days.
