01 / REBIRTH

ONE-NIGHT ONLY TELEVISED SPECIAL

LIVE ORCHESTRA / CATALOGUE REIMAGINED

WATER AS STAGE / INTEGRATED LIGHT + WATER EFFECTS / DAYLIGHT TO NIGHT

A woman in a strapless, purple satin gown with a full, voluminous skirt, posing with her back slightly turned and looking over her shoulder.

REBIRTH

Ricki-Lee revisits her catalogue through the perspective of who she is now. Set within an extraordinary Australian landscape, she + live orchestra appear to perform directly on the water — an impossible stage shaped by reflection, integrated light + choreographed water effects. As daylight fades into night, the landscape transforms with the music.

Aerial view of a sandy cove with clear turquoise water, surrounded by rocks and greenery.
A large orchestra performing on stage with a conductor leading them. The stage has a series of overarched, concentric arch structures and a polished floor reflecting the scene.
Nighttime water fountain show with synchronized water jets and lights, traditional Asian pavilion illuminated in red, trees lit in blue and green, and city lights in the background.

AUSTRALIAN IDOL / NEW MUSIC

THE MAKING OF THE SHOW BECOMES THE SHOW

A woman in a shiny blue off-the-shoulder ruched dress standing in a backstage area with technical equipment, monitors, and cables.

THE

MACHINE

Rather than concealing the mechanics of television production, the performance exposes + activates them — transforming cameras, rigging + backstage infrastructure into the architecture of the show.

Stage setup for Australian Idol show with large digital backdrop displaying the show's logo in white cursive letters against a blue burst pattern. Stage lights and scaffolding are visible, with various equipment and musical instruments in the foreground.
Black and white photo of a woman with long, wavy hair, kneeling on the floor wearing a black outfit and high-heeled boots, with dramatic lighting.
Colorful TV test pattern with static distortion and corrupted lines.
A row of golf clubs with different clubheads arranged on a display shelf in a dimly lit room with blue lighting.
A scene of chaos and fire at a protest or riot with individuals, one woman with long hair and a raised fist, amid flames, smoke, and debris, with a backdrop of burning objects and a dark sky.

ALL WE NEED

IS LOVE

Big hair. Bigger Color. Maximum spectacle.

A love letter to dance-floor divas + the glorious excess of Mardi Gras. Ricki-Lee takes center stage as a disco goddess, transforming her biggest hits into a Technicolor fantasy of freedom, joy + indulgence.
