Cal Silberstein Is Looking For Kafei (With Special Guests)

Presented by Cal Silberstein, Ludicrous Displays and STATE OF PLAY.

Cal Silberstein is obsessed with stories.

He has been telling them for as long as he can remember. He loves stories of all kinds, though these days he doesn’t seem to be able to kick a persistent Musical Theatre habit. Join Cal for a songbook-spanning cabaret of sorts, as he waxes lyrical (literally) on the debatable rewards of family, his years-long journey of looking for Kafei, the cognitive dissonance of moving to America, the seductive malaise of seasonal depression and of course, The Great Emu War of 1932.

“An absolute treat from an intelligent talent. The journey through Cal’s songbook was testimony to his thoughtful, funny, relevant work. Another Western Australian legend in the making.” – Fringefeed
