My Budding Entropy
My Budding Entropy is a wild, brave folktale of Holly’s deep connection to nature and how it saved their life. Strap in, as this powerful, genre-defying ensemble, of non-binary artists, take you on the beautifully complex rollercoaster of Holly’s becoming, through clown, poetry, physical theatre, live original folk music and projection art. This profoundly magical tale exposes the rigid walls of the gender binary and re-imagines a colourful world beyond it.
This is our ode to connection in a divided world. Whatever your gender, it’s time to gather with us, to feel all the feelings, laugh, cry, identify, as we return to our kindred beating hearts in the arms of the natural world.

We are Holly Rowan and the Wilderbeans! A dynamic performing quartet of non-binary artists from Naarm, beholding a niche pic-n-mix of creative flairs. Our collective art is categorised by cross-pollination and play, and we have gathered to tell you some epic tales of queer folks and their evolving relationship with the world, through physical theatre, original music and live-mixed animation. Our art interweaves worlds and asks deep questions, regarding nature, identity, societal norms and intergenerational perspectives. Our shows are raw but hilarious and we’re not scared of emotional rollercoasters, or difficult conversations.
