SUMMARY:KOAL
DESCRIPTION:Fresh off a hit run at Theatre Works in Melbourne and PhysFestNYC in New York City\, KOAL is a one-woman climate-catastrophe-clown-show for the end of the world. As wildfires tear through Australia\, a baby koala\, a coal miner and an Indigenous girl desperately strive to hold onto their homes before all burns and turns to ash. \nKOAL is an original interactive solo-show\, performed by Jacinta Yelland (RealTV\, Elbow Room\, Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre\, Pig Iron Theatre Company\, David Gordon) and directed by Trey Lyford (rainpan 43\, The Civilians)\, that immerses the audience in the middle of the 2019 Australian bushfires. The show follows two eyewitnesses to this climate catastrophe; Koal\, a baby koala recovering at a wildlife sanctuary after being saved from a nearby wildfire\, and Stevo\, a career coal miner trapped in a collapsed mine hundreds of metres underground. Woven throughout is the story of Minah\, an Indigenous girl who was removed from her home and interned by her government during WWII. Using documentary theatre\, clown\, and audience interaction\, KOAL takes the audience from laughter to tears as it explores what is lost when your home is erased. \nFIND OUT MORE
