What's On

Djuna by Eva Rees
 

From the cutting-edge queer theatre makers that brought Melbourne The Inheritance, In The Club and The Gospel According to Jesus and Queen of Heaven, comes a razor-sharp new collaboration with trans playwright Eva Rees

Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy, the psychological thriller has been directed by Bullet Heart Club’s Kitan Petkovski and promises to captivate and challenge audiences with its provocative exploration of identity, power, and the complexities of human connection.

Set within the charged intimacy of a hotel room, Djuna follows the two-year affair between a young trans woman Djuna (Jay Gold) and Marcus (Dion Mills), an older and purportedly heterosexual man. Both characters in this play are queer in their own ways, from different generations, brought together in this hotel room to explore themselves in ways they can't anywhere else.

Djuna offers a scintillating perspective on queer exploration, from a ground-breaking local company.

    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.

    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.

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