MAX SHARAM is MEZZO CUCKOO!
Platinum-selling powerhouse Max Sharam — 90s art-pop icon who walked away from the commercial music industry — detonates onto the stage from New York with Mezzo Cuckoo: Diva Gone Dada. With virtuosic vocals, razor-sharp wit, set inside her cinematic universe, Sharam hijacks opera as a site of rebellion, twisting beloved arias into anarchic parody as a surreal act of resistance against a culture determined to label women ‘cuckoo.’ Blending opera bouffe, absurdist theatre, and slapstick, Mezzo Cuckoo is a must-see for anyone craving boundary-pushing performance with something urgent to say.
★★★★★ The most brilliant, inventive, meaningful and mind-blowing performance I’ve seen in years. Max Sharam’s Mezzo Cuckoo left me in awe of her talent — I loved it so much I can’t stop thinking about it. Go see her show! She’s only in Oz for a limited time.
★★★★★ A one-woman tour-de-force, Mezzo Cuckoo short-circuits the patriarchy with sly theatricality and aching tenderness, revealing what happens when a woman refuses to quietly vanish.
