Prepare to be simultaneously charmed and berated by Tīrau’s resident self proclaimed artist, incompetent anarchist, and lover of grapes.

Born in Limburg; Germany, Johann packed his quill and moved to the small town of Tīrau, (NZ) to free himself of his parental constraints and find himself as an artist. Now he is ready to share his angst with the world.

With a diary full of inspiration (and sheep poo), Johann has arrived in Naarm to launch (or attempt to launch) his first poetry book.

Unfortunately, as he presents his painfully curated manifesto, he will be sidetracked by his hatred of society, his love for Elton John, and his ongoing frustration with capitalism. Will we ever hear the full book? Do we want to?

Join award winning actor and writer Em Barrett as she presents to you her ultimate artistic alter ego.

A show for poetry lovers and haters alike.
