What's On

Head | Thorax | Abdomen
 

Join us at the legendary La Mama Courthouse for Head | Thorax | Abdomen

Wendy, David and Isha are trapped inside a terrible mystery. Addressed by an unseen voice, they struggle to piece together the narratives of their interconnected lives and solve this surreal puzzle before it is too late. Welcome to their confusion and panic.

Part jet-black comedy, part post-modern thriller, part tragedy - Kafka meets David Lynch.

“...takes the audience to some dark and twisted places, and what could be more entertaining than that?” - MY MELBOURNE ARTS

“... rather wonderfully, writer James Hazelden has unfolded the original story in new dimensions, hinting at greater mysteries…” - THE AUSTRALIAN

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    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.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
