What's On

Holly Rowan
 

You are welcomed to gather in a wise old forest to explore non-binary belonging, as part of Midsumma Festival 2025. Inspired by Trans Ecology, this epic ensemble journey is framed within the Druid seasons. Let us enchant you with our original folk music, live-mixed animation and assemblage of clown characters. You will laugh, cry and identify as we uproot the gender-binary, with child-like play. This is queer theatre that doesn’t take sides but seeks unity. From the roots to the leaves - from our heads to our toes, we diversify perspectives through the unwavering force of humour, vulnerability and love.

Holly Rowan has previously performed a solo version of My Queer Spiritual Entropy in Melbourne Fringe 2023 and Adelaide Fringe 2024. Their one-human show has now flourished into an exciting ecosystem of collaborations, with fellow non-binary artists in Melbourne. The new imagining takes on a richer sensory tapestry, more transformative than ever. Live-streamed shows will be available to watch online from home.

  • Original story, songs, direction and clown characters by Holly Rowan

  • The Wilderbeans - music, sound and ensemble performance by Quinn EarthChild, Lore Phoenix Burns and Rosie Breedt
  • Produced by Chelsea Byrne

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
