What's On

Caution, Under Concussion!
 

Silvi Santoso, a.k.a. Asian Roseanne is down under from September to November for the world premiere of CUC: Caution, Under Concussion! This show is an honest and hilarious sneak peek into Santoso’s journey in living with invisible disabilities, how to find a new purpose in life, all while experiencing a spectrum reaction from others. 

The performance integrates stories, jokes, and song parodies to exhibit the harsh reality of looking good when you are indeed suffering.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But what if life gives you not just lemons, but a variety of fruits, vegetables and more? What if all of those are invisible? Santoso‘s life changed drastically after an accident that created an enormous shift in her cognitive and physical capabilities. 

Whilst mourning the loss of her old self, including her abilities that previously defined her, and how she lived her life by pushing her limits - which is a No No when you are recovering from a concussion, it took Santoso a long time to accept herself and re-learn to take a break, and understand her unpredictable daily threshold.

“Sometimes what we perceive as our weakness including the disabilities is what makes us stronger and special.”, Silvi Santoso.

    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
    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
    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.

    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.
