Description Acclaimed Indigenous artist Christian Thompson presents 'Tree of Knowledge': a rich solo performance that transforms dreams, memories and aspirations into surreal gestures, invoking a world where tradition, pop culture and media continually collide. Bringing together song, spoken word, sculpture, video and movement, 'Tree of Knowledge' draws on Thompson's own personal biography as well as a wide palette of references - from pop music to contemporary art and cultural practices.
