What's On

Two Blood

★★★★½ – Limelight Magazine
“electrifying” – InReview
“The seamless fusion of movement, music, film, image, and literal storytelling” – Broadway World

A Tagalaka woman and Cantonese man embark on a forbidden love affair forged in the flames of a burning country. Centuries later, their remains are discovered in a forever embrace, setting into motion a sprawling exploration of belonging and identity.

Created by visionary artists S. Shakthidharan (Counting and Cracking), Daniel Riley and Jasmin Sheppard, who has woven her own family history through the work, Two Blood sees Australian Dance Theatre (Marrow, Tracker) continue to break new ground with an intensely physical work, blending film, language, music and movement across borders, cultures and time.

Young, O’Neill, Ionis, and indeed every member of the orchestra understood how to let this music crack open the psyche, yet hold us there in ways that can transfigure our souls.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment

Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.
The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
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.
