wonderful and divine world...
Murga is a form of popular musical theatre performed primarily in
Montevideo, Uruguay during the Carnival season. Es Lo Que Hay
(meaning: It's What There Is) is born in Sydney's South Western
Suburb of Fairfield, with its extravagant costumes and wild face
paint, these would be Pierrot's sing their dreams, fears and values.
Comprising of one flamboyant stage director on guitar, a choir of 13
and a percussion trio Es Lo Que Hay's criticism, principle ingredient
of the Uruguayan Murga, focuses on national issues and their local
community. Unafraid to strike back, this Young Murga will pack a
punch in the eyes of any spectator and do so filled with harmonies,
joy, colours, movement, nostalgia, satire and a percussion trio that
will blow your mind.
