Adelaide Fringe 2020

Abattoir Noir

A wildly entertaining cabaret-style expose of the cruel practices inherent in the meat industry. Inspired by the true testimonies of workers in that industry, shaped into a relentless rhythmic text by author Kenneth MacLeod. 

"Infuriating, sad, numbing, funny, shocking... ethically confronting but doesn't ever forget to entertain. Plenty of food for thought!" Bendigo Courier. 

"Moments of crystalline beauty juxtaposed against a relentless script, pounding onwards like a conveyor belt into the depths of Hell." Audience member. 

"The Red Room: a strong, lateral and DIY aesthetic meets true artistic commitment and the highest levels of technical expertise" Jane Crawley, Creative Victoria.
