Belongings pile up as an ageing mother, her high achieving daughter, pet cockatiel, and case manager negotiate their way to an important inspection.
A new Australian theatre work about isolation and excess in modern life.
Belongings pile up as an ageing mother, her high achieving daughter, pet cockatiel, and case manager negotiate their way to an important inspection.
A new Australian theatre work about isolation and excess in modern life.
A lightly comic, beautifully observed performance from Picot carves out the enclosed reality of her character's delusion, countered by Constantine's strident voice of reason, straining to gain purchase.

Of Giants
Performed at La Mama Theatre
Part speculative lecture on cutting-edge science and part experimental cabaret, Of Giants blends the silly and the serious in a sometimes moving and often maniacal mash-up of movement, storytelling, poetry and clowning. Weaving together threads of science, social history and personal narrative to grapple with questions of family, gender, collective story and genetic inheritance, this new work leads us inside the deep interior realms of our DNA.
