THE ARTIST, ON THE ROAD
The story behind this itinerary
Japan opens this selected Pacific chapter before Auckland and nine Australian shows. The route returns to Melbourne after Sydney, then crosses to Maui and Oahu.
The official archive provides the dates and venues, including repeated Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney performances.
Brisbane is held out of playback: the artist archive gives 19 April while the Australian archive and a reproduced itinerary give 18 April. The show will return only when the conflict is resolved with original evidence.
