At dusk on opening night, in the heart of Hobart at Constitution Dock, a traditional Chinese junk, the Suzy Wong, will drift by, her sails set and filled with moving imagery. Films, photographs, maps, portraits and text are woven together with a soundscape wafting from her decks. Junk Theory, produced by Tasmania's acclaimed Big hART, is an evocative representation of an iconic beachside suburb in all its ugliness and beauty. Junk Theory then travels the Derwent visiting Old Beach, Kingston Beach, the Bellerive Boardwalk and the Huon before being launched on the Tamar to visit Seaport, George Town and Gravelly Beach over the final weekend of Ten Days. Wherever she goes, the festivities go with her. So grab a seat, have a bite to eat, and settle in for a family outing on your local waterfront. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Due to weather conditions there is a chance that tonights performance of Junk Theory, originally scheduled to take place at Windmill Point in George Town, will now take place at Peppers Resort, York Cove, George Town. Please call 6236 5606 at 6pm to confirm locations for tonights performance. Check out the Suzy Wong at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival on the Hobart waterfront prior to her sailings during Ten Days.
