The State – Meet The Artists
POST-SHOW ARTIST CHAT WITH PRODUCER HOLLAND BROOKS & MEMBERS OF THE CAST.
Stick around post-show on May 22nd to MEET THE ARTISTS and chat with The State team about the creative process and working as emerging artists in WA.
Tickets are not required to attend the session, but it is recommended you see the show beforehand.
Look at the state of this place!
Four states are lorded over by foppish drag-king Daddies, all under the thumb of an elusive and shadowy figure known as Mummy.
Democracy is falling apart at the seams.
Young optimist Flung embarks on a nationwide quest to find his mother. A series of increasingly absurd catastrophes sees Flung team up with a group of radical leftists called the Common Dog Fucks (CDF). In the face of overlord Mummy and her ruling Daddies’ political clusterfuck, Flung and the CDF must get revolutionary to save their nation.
The State is a visually arresting, scathing commentary on the state of Australian politics. Phallic puppetry, glorious drag, and biting comedy sees the state of our nation dissected like never before.
