Piper

Once upon a time in a far away land some dude with a flute ran an elaborate scam.

Well that's the official stance of the council and media… they’re always reliable right?

Frenzy Theatre Co presents the Australian Gothic reimagining of the Pied Piper of Hamelin with an ensemble of female and non-binary performance makers, circus artists and live instrumentalists. A warped version of the much loved fable that will have you questioning the very ground you stand on and rooting for the wrong side.

PIPER is a theatrical explosion of ideas that defies definition for a post-truth media saturated world. It's fun, it's bold, it's unforgettable.

Artemis: Utter Mess - La Mama HQ AUTUMN SEASON

Non-binary, Asexual, Biracial AND Neurodivergent? Utter Mess! A show about labels and the difference between the words that confine us and the words that set us free.

What happens when every document, every bathroom, every community seems to want you to decide, and none of the binaries seem to fit? ‘Artemis: Utter Mess’ is a show about labels and the difference between the words that confine us and the words that set us free. In this one-hour, one-enby show featuring nine original songs, Artemis looks over their journey to self discovery as a non-binary, asexual, bi-racial and neurodivergent person through song stroy and several excellent puns.
