THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (on-demand)

Recording of live performance on 17/10/20 at The Flying Nun, Darlinghurst

GHOST SALON (on-demand)

Recording of live performance on 7/11/20 at The Flying Nun, Darlinghurst

In the shallowest hour of the night a faint outline appears. They outnumber us. They watch us fret and obsess. But tonight, they strike up the band. Ghost Salon is a lush evening of hilarious and haunting cabaret. A luminous view into those who’ve been left in the dark. Part seance, part confessional, part spectral hooley. All welcome, dead or alive.

BORN OF A LIGHTBULB IT SEEMED (on-demand)

Recording of live performance on 8/5/21 at The Flying Nun, Darlinghurst

A woman lives alone, restless for expression. Staving off loneliness in a world clinging to the idea of Noah's ark where we must all travel to our deaths two-by-two, she begins to anthropomorphise objects in her house, until she finds the one. Is it a dissociative breakdown, or is it love?

LIMITS (On-Demand)

RECORDED LIVE: 18/06/21 at The Flying Nun, Darlinghurst

A grotesque creature navigating the world through the lens of a stereotypical “hot-body”. A creature trying to live up to the expectations of the world around her, riddled with insecurity and self-hate. Sabotaged by her limitations.
