7 - 25 November 2023, The Blue Room Theatre
Democracy is not a spectator sport.
Four teenagers wrestle with how to make a difference, what constitutes democratic process… and whether, or not, to blow up a pipeline.
In the middle of a scorching summer election campaign, Viv, Elena, Fin & Billy get together to change the course of history and come to terms with their own power and powerlessness. To not just be a part of democracy, but rewrite it their way. Do we change the system from within or blast it open and create something entirely different?
This new play written by Noemie Huttner-Koros and directed by Andrew Sutherland, brings together an incredible team of Perth theatre-makers and fierce young actors. Join the radical political teen gang of your dreams
Careful of the explosion.
Don’t sit on the sidelines.

'This play is topical, subversive and intelligent. It challenges concepts of democracy by exploring the dark side of consensus in action. Aware of its own medium as a potential activist vehicle, this work participates in (and reflects upon) multiple layers of social change.' -- Nanci Nott, Theatre review: Democracy Repair Services, Artshub
