AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"Sweet Child of Mine" is a cross-generational theatrical investigation, featuring performer Bron Batten and her 60 year-old parents live onstage.

'Providing frank opinions on contemporary art, the avant-garde and Bron's own performance history, their insights are poignant, earnest and at the same time, painfully hilarious. Asking themselves and the audience: what exactly is the POINT of art?

'A mixture of theatre, stand-up, performance art and awkward family function, "Sweet Child of Mine" is for anyone who has trouble communicating with their family about who they are - or what they do for a living.'
