Curveball

31 Aug 2022 to 11 Sep 2022

A pre-post apocalyptic tragic comedy about the possible end of the Earth.

Three tribunes are thrust into action as the ultimatum of all ultimatums is made – save the Earth in 49 minutes and 12 seconds, or perish forever. A humorous take on the undeniable and yet still somehow unconceivable; that our ol’ green ‘n’ blue is slowly but surely being consumed by people and plastic.
Curveball looks at consumer culture in our capitalist society and asks of us the makers, us the audience, us the world – what comes next? How can we make positive choices in the face of climate change? What are we willing to sacrifice to save the Earth?

One of those stories that set my mind off wandering and wondering about my own life, relationships and art, while I was still watching and absorbed in what was happening on stage’ – Olivia Muscat
