The first satellite event from the Festival of Live Art (FOLA) - Auckland, An Imposter showcases Tāmaki Makaurau’s most daring underground musicians experimenting with new forms as music and theatre collide.

An Imposter presents a clutch of songs performed through three characters bound up in a dramatic conflict of unknown origin. In murky circumstances, a psychologist urges a young woman to acknowledge her mother in a shared therapy session - a performance of darkly comedic narrative, conveyed through the heralded vocal prowess of three cutting-edge musicians.

In an enthralling performance where the audience becomes a collective fly on the wall, An Imposter is an eclectic, inspired cycle of songs calling at once to Scott Walker, the Bee Gees and The Fall. Joining Ron on stage for this performance are piano extraordinaire Hermione Johnson, drummer Chris O'Connor (The Phoenix Foundation), the enigmatic GHW, and singers i.e. crazy and Billie Fee (Grecco Romank).
