First time in MELBOURNE
Sixteen Words for Water
At the Carlton Courthouse
Opening Wednesday March 9 until Saturday March 26

Indicted for treason and detailed without trial for 13 years, Ezra Pound - the 'father of modern poetry' and renowned fascist and anti-semite - awaits judgment in a Washington institution for the criminally insane. Is he sane enough to face trial and the electric chair?
Suspended between Freedom and 'freedom of speech', ol' Ez finds himself invaded by memories of the Aboriginal Wandjina stories - spirits whose creation threatened chaos.
