Presented by Sydney Festival in association with Sydney Opera House

Insomnia is a new conceptual work by Megan Washington, created to be performed four times only - once in Sydney, then Paris, London and New York.

A multi-layered show, Insomnia incorporates art, poetry, photography and designs, all drawn from Washington's personal archives. It offers a revealing insight into an intense 12 months for the double ARIA Award-winning artist, exploring all sides of her emotional and creative life.

Insomnia's four movements - Opiate, Amphetamine, Barbiturate and Nicotine - will be performed with very special guest musicians and sound artists on a stage incorporating sculpture and set-design by Robbie Rowlands. Insomnia will be directed and arranged by noted producer Daniel Denholm.

At the age of 24, Washington has slid musically from jazz to pop via spiky new wave. She is one of Australia's most promising musical talents, and has collaborated with the likes of Tim Finn, Paul Grabowsky and Paul Kelly.

Washington fans take note - this one-off show in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall will be the only time Insomnia will be performed as a complete work in Australia.
