Great things take time, and that certainly applies to this dazzling new showcase at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA). Chinese-Australian artist Lindy Lee was commissioned to celebrate the NGA’s 40th anniversary back in 2022, and now, after 60,000 hours of work, ‘Ouroboros’ has finally been unveiled after three years of waiting. The piece is worth a staggering AU$14 million. Alongside the sculpture, the NGA is hosting a self-titled exhibition all about Lee’s sparkling career, which spans four decades.

Shakespeare By the Lakes VI: Macbeth Join us for an unforgettable evening of live twilight theatre at Tuggeranong Town Park! This year, we're partnering with The Q to bring you Shakespeare's action-packed tragedy Macbeth. Tuggeranong Town Park will transform into the eerie beauty of the Scottish Highlands as the infamous witches weave their dark prophecies and Macbeth rises to power amidst a whirlwind of murder, secrets, and the occult, with a dynamic cast (and maybe a few audience members) who will bring the play to life. Gather your friends, pack a picnic, and strap in for a night of greed, ambition, and deception. Whether you’re a Shakespeare aficionado or new to the Bard, don’t miss this chance to experience Shakespeare’s shortest, sharpest, and bloodiest play like never before, as nature and theatre collide. As with all Lakespeare shows, we encourage audience members of all ages and love introducing younger audience members to the joys of watching Shakespeare. Parents should note that this production is faithful to the original text and contains some adult themes (battles, murder and the like). Lakespeare is an independent theatre company on a mission to make high-quality theatre accessible to Canberrans and beyond. Visit our webpage closer to show time for more information about the show, the cast and what we do. And don't forget to follow us on Facebook or Instagram. Even though this is a free event, its important that you register for tickets. Registration helps us to understand likely numbers. This helps our vendors and sponsors. Registration enables us to keep you informed regarding any new developments related to the performance. What can I bring into the event? Please bring sunscreen (daytime shows), a rug, friends, family, food and drink. A chair if you want to go in the chair zone. A blanket if it looks cold. We have vendors (more detail provided closer to the show), too, who can provide a range of sweet and savoury food options, coffee and alcohol. Show information 1. SBTL is an outdoor event and we all must adapt to the weather conditions. The show must go on (and usually does) unless there is a really severe weather forecast or event. So be prepared - there is no such thing as bad weather, there is only the wrong clothes. If we do need to cancel a show we'll contact you via the email you provide in your registration (and we also aim to keep you updated via our social media platforms). 2. Chairs are only allowed in designated areas. So everyone can see, chairs will necessarily be set back from the main playing area. 3. So everyone can see, umbrellas are not to be used during the performance. Patrons should use hooded rain jackets or ponchos. 4. Lakespeare reserves the right to add or remove performances, change venues and/or alter the start times of events. Of course, we only do this for good reasons and give you as much warning as possible. Information Source: eventbrite
