Australian composer and performer Anthony Pateras joins the Australian Chamber Orchestra in transforming the concert hall into a sonic space where technology and humanity combine. Agent provocateur Michael Leunig then returns to the ACO stage for a Carnival of the Humans, some of whom may be tellingly familiar. -- www.canberratheatre.org.au
