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.
25th July to 5th August, 8pm (No Sunday or Monday performances)

Flag Inc. presents The Alfred Solomons Project: SIX
Wednesday, 9 August 2017
to Sunday, 13 August 2017
Six stories. Six characters. Six chances.
SIX is a hallucinatory journey of optimism, despair, triumph and transformation. In a distorted world filled with forgery, butchery, glamour, indoctrination, plies, and impeccable millinery, this is part love story, part game show, and part confessional.
THE ALFRED SOLOMONS PROJECT The Alfred Solomons Project is an ongoing inter-generational work, connecting young and old community members. In its inaugural incarnation, Flags ensemble (six young creatives) have been linked with a local OM:NI Group (Old Men: New Ideas) to interpret and develop moments of life stories into a unique theatrical experiences.
Letters to nobody, lost loves, missing persons. The Alfred Solomons Project explores the idea of lives forgotten, capturing memories and the human experience, and igniting connections among strangers.
Supported by Darebin Arts and SPAN Community House

Niche presented by Darebin Arts' Speakeasy and Elbow Room
Wednesday, 16 August 2017
to Saturday, 26 August 2017
Darebin Arts Speakeasy present an Elbow Room production Niche created by Emily Tomlins and Eryn Jean Norvill.
You've found your place, your tribe, your Niche...
Niche is a pop star. She writes songs about what it's like to be her, and it has made her famous.
Jodee doesn't know about pop music. She knows about dangerous viruses. That's why she's been hired by Niche's management.
Belonging is everything. Replication is more.
Powered by a pumping original soundtrack from Steve Toulmin and Marcel Dorney (Prehistoric), directed by Nic Holas and created by Eryn Jean Norvill and Emily Tomlins (a tiny chorus), Niche is a surreal, irreverent and deeply affecting story about what we really want from celebrity in the digital age.
