'Who will survive this wild ride (and its unruly passengers)? Can flight attendant Angel defeat God’s Greatest Gift in a battle for the ultimate prize?
'Find out in... A NIGHTIME TRAVESTY… an epic First Nations vaudevillian musical nightmare that is equal parts sardonic, cheeky and heartbreaking. It’s a non-stop riot of music, parody and political punch – a fever dream that feels like Babes in the Wood on acid.
'With explosions, zany costumes, gruesome decapitations, existential horror, Blak humour, romance, genocide and a live band, there’s something for everyone at this perpetual party floating in our neglected psyches!
'Leading independent artists Kamarra Bell-Wykes and Carly Sheppard (CHASE) bring to Malthouse a revamped version of the smash-hit production that brought audiences to their feet at every one of its sold-out performances at YIRRAMBOI Festival, now directed by Stephen Nicolazzo (Loaded).
'Strap in for a ferocious adventure that pushes form, genre and the realms of reality with a renowned crew hell-bent on reimagining what First Nations performance can be.'
