SUMMARY:KOAL
DESCRIPTION:KOAL is an original interactive solo show by Jacinta Yelland that immerses audiences in the heart of the devastating 2019 Australian bushfires.

Drawing on lived experiences and contemporary conversations around climate\, identity and connection to Country\, the work encourages audiences to reflect on the choices that shape our collective future. \n \nSuitable for a wide range of audiences\, KOAL balances moments of laughter with profound empathy\, creating space for reflection\, conversation and hope. At its core\, the show is a moving exploration of resilience\, loss and recovery\, celebrating the strength of communities while asking what it will take to protect our shared world for future generations. \nAt Brisbane Powerhouse from 9-11 July 2026. \nSuitable for ages 8+\nChildren under the age of two are permitted; all other ages must hold a valid ticket.  Contains strobe lighting and haze.  Involves audience participation. \nFIND OUT MORE
