No place like
Avoca Project, Central Victoria
10 October 2009

No place like is a one-on-one performance, held in the dining room of the Swiss House at the Eco Living Festival on Saturday 10 October. Visitors to the house were invited to choose a book from a small library and to sit down join Lily as she reads a specific passage aloud. For its first instalment, over 30 people donated books to the collection, in response to the premise that it encapsulates the experience of belonging to a place. Stories of intimacy, adventure and passion accompanied this remarkable array of books, which ranged from Voss by Patrick White to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. No place like will be performed on an ongoing basis.
