BLUE GRASSY KNOLL

BGK touring to China 2010

Blue Grassy Knoll will be appearing at the World Expo in Shanghai in September 2010 as part of the Australian Pavillion.

They will be performing their score toLaborer’s Love (Laogong zhi aiqing) which is a short film produced in China, also known as Romance of a Fruit Peddler (Zhi guo yuan). It constitutes the earliest complete film from China’s early cinematic history that survives today.

Blue Grassy first wrote and performed this score for the Australian Theatre Festival in Beijing and Shanghai in 2007, with funding from the Victorian Arts Centre.

It is the second time that Blue Grassy Knoll have been Australian cultural representatives at Expo, the last time was in 2000 in Hannover, Germany.
