Puts a Spell On You
QUEENSLAND PREMIERE
Actor and singer Ursula Yovich steps into the spotlight with a tribute from one great performer to one of the greatest of all time: the High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone.
One of Australia’s most magnetic performers, Ursula Yovich (The Sapphires, Top End Wedding, Barbara and the Camp Dogs) channels the spirit and defiant joy at the heart of Simone’s music and mixes in her own unmistakable spark.
The songs you love are here, alive with new energy – with Ursula holding a mirror to the present, finding echoes of power, resilience and hope in the world today.
Backed by an exceptional live band, this is an encounter across decades, cultures and continents, a conversation between activist-artists for whom song is a balm, a shield, a compass.
Join us for a night that will stir your spirit and stay with you long after the final note.
REVIEWS:
“[Yovich] is a gale force wind, an unstoppable weather event, rage and sorrow and wit thrown directly, gloriously, into our faces” – Time Out
“The term ‘living legend’ gets thrown around a little too loosely these days, but if anyone denies its appropriate usage when applied to supreme being Ursula Yovich, well, they can get right outta town.” – Time Out Sydney
