What's On

The weather app, on my phone, at a party
 

_It’s too easy to not talk to a single person_ 

_I’m still young but I’m already reminiscing_ 

_People are flaky and will always cancel last minute, I did that last night but that’s totally different, I had a good reason_ 

The weather app, on my phone, at a party tackles the quintessential feelings of isolation and loneliness that come with transitioning into adulthood. Quirky and absurdist, it asks the question: 'does it get any better?' 

Devised by the EMBOLDEN Ensemble at St Martins Youth Arts Centre, this new work interrogates what we owe each other and what we owe ourselves, and why these things seem to be in conflict with one another. Created by young people who are navigating (with little success) the pivotal moment of change in their lives, this performance is full of anxiety and joy, comedy and melancholy. 

Maybe we all might just have to accept that crying on your birthday is part of life. 

Made possible thanks to City of Melbourne Arts Grants, Cybec Foundation, John Truscott Design Foundation, and ADFAS Yarra.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
