Literary phenomenon returns to Sydney’s stage
The world renowned poet will perform new unpublished pieces, poems from ‘home body’ and greatest hits from her iconic books ‘milk and honey’ and ‘the sun and her flowers’. Rupi will reconnect us with each other and most importantly, ourselves.
Audiences will be taken on a journey of personal loss and love, growth, mental health, community, friendship and strength. These universal themes take centre stage as original music scores the show and projections immerse.
Presented by Live Nation
