Merciless Gods presented by Darebin Arts' Speakeasy and Little Ones Theatre
Tuesday, 25 July 2017
to Saturday, 5 August 2017
Presented by Darebin Arts' Speakeasy and Little Ones Theatre.
Based on the book by Christos Tsiolkas. Adapted by Dan Giovannoni.
Where do Gods live? In the sewers, with us…
Cruel, kind, generous and capricious.
In this theatrical adaptation of the acclaimed short story collection by author and provocateur, Christos Tsiolkas, humans and fallen angels alike are playthings - prey to godly whims.
Vicious and tender, this is Australia. From migrant camps to gay saunas, pill-popping hipster dinner parties to porn sets, prison cells to the streets of King's Cross, Merciless Gods captures haunting slices of our psyche and unveils the hidden faces of ancient deities on mortal ground.
This stage adaptation of Tsiolkas' writings by Little Ones Theatre and award winning playwright Dan Giovannoni is urgent, dirty and glorious theatre that brings queer migrant voices to the stage.
