Flashed

February 16th @ 7pm
​February 17th @ 2:30pm & 7pm

Tickets: $28
(Concession + Child $25)

​‘Flashed’ is a new contemporary/physical theatre production that explores the human experience of memory. Combining dance and cinematography, this interdisciplinary production incorporates pre-recorded projections and live movement to create a moving performance that provokes reflection and deliberation. ‘Flashed’ is derived from the question: how do we perceive memories. The piece investigates individuals’ unique experiences of memories, and the impact these memories have on our lives. The work also explores our senses and their unique ability to trigger specific recollections. What is the difference between real life and a memory? We are constantly in a transitory state of existence; every second moves from present to past, but what makes a memory significant? Can one’s recollection of the memory be changed or manipulated by the present? This contemporary work conveys the beauty and confrontation of a life that is inherently ephemeral. Even in our most vulnerable states, there are some memories that will never die.

Kokoda

​Feb 22nd-24th,
March 1st - 3rd & 8th - 11th
Tickets: $15 - $24.50

Within months of bombing Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the feared Japanese war machine had taken Singapore and the Philippines and was now bombing Darwin. The loss of Pt Moresby would be a disaster for Australia, next to be invaded. But initially we sent only poorly trained, young, larrikins recruited off the streets of Melbourne to defend New Guinea along the Kokoda track. Now look into the eyes of one of those boys who fought to save Australia from the Japanese as he tells his story from our most famous battle that turned the Pacific War.

It's Not Too Late
(Until You're Dead)

March 14th-16th @ 7:30pm
Adults $25, Concession $20

Can you possibly have an existential crisis at your own funeral?
Whoever said you can’t speak ill of the dead, had obviously never MC’d the funeral of their self-obsessed, star-struck sister. The very same sister who’d never lifted a finger for anyone in her entire life, now needs her sensible sibling to close the lid on the ‘not so’ fabulous career she chose ahead of her family and friends. Equal parts black comedy and existential drama, It’s Not Too Late (until you’re dead) is a post-mortem dissection of a sibling relationship cruelly cut short and an exploration of family memory...that fickle, unreliable beast which threatens to ruin even the most pleasant of family gatherings, let alone celebrations for the prematurely dead. As a guest at Lulu Anderson’s somewhat unconventional funeral, you should expect the unexpected. There will be no hymns...but there may well be show tunes. Bring your tissues.

Midway to Nowhere

12th - 15th of June @ 8pm
​15th of June @ 2pm
Tickets: $30 ($25 Concession)

Australia 1952, and a group of New Australians, migrants from devastated post-war Europe, awaits release from the limbo of life in an Australian migrant camp. Recent rioters have burnt down camp buildings, triggering armoured intervention by the army. Powerless, the migrants wage war against the camp administration, each other and themselves. Based on actual events at Bonegilla, the most famous of all migrant camps, “Midway to Nowhere” tells a chapter in Australia’s history whose telling is well overdue. This exciting new play is at turns funny, sad, angry and painful. It will connect with migrants, their family and Old Australians.
