Some say glowsticks have no place in poetry or theatre. We are not those people.
A person who only knows how to live on stage meets a person who doesn’t know what to do with a person who only knows how to live on stage. They dance around with the idea that you can create a show that is a play within a play, that may be a rehearsal for a play within a play. While also being pop-poetry-punk-cabaret. Now you have ‘Theatre of Unapologetic Sparkles’. Bring on the fairywings and glowsticks and let’s figure out who we are, together.
*This special presentation of ‘Theatre of Unapologetic Sparkles’ at Mamma Chen’s features the full original theatrical production, with a Q&A after the performance and a dance party with Fluxofhumour AKA George O’Hara.
Written by Steve Smart. Performed by Es Foong and Steve Smart. Technical Wizardry by George O’Hara. TOUS was originally performed as part of La Mama Explorations 2024.
Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
