One Of These Things First
A girl dreams of being a ballerina, then a cowboy, then a CEO. A boy dreams of learning the drums. But it's too late for all of that. They’ve grown up. The time has passed….
Or has it?
What if we did it all? Right now. In 60 mins. With nothing but an empty stage.
And props. LOADS of props.
Focused on the impossible nature of childhood career dreams, it is an epic, messy work. Ironic and physically demanding, it is a visual feast that endeavours to capture the beauty, challenges, and complexities of pursuing dreams at an age where nothing seems possible anymore.
“Continuously engaging, interesting, frantic and delightful.. Warm, cheery, sunny.. Whilst also having this broody undercurrent, lower layer, of dark capitalistic melancholy" Praise Dionysus!
There is completely optional audience participation, with low-pressure to participate.
Presented by: Hot Lunch
Hot Lunch is a live performance and theatre group from Melbourne that seeks to challenge established stories and narratives.
Our work is always in reaction to something that excites us.
Hot Lunch were formed in 2023 and have worked together on multiple shows prior to this.
Their most recent show for Melbourne Fringe (This is the dust we're in) garnered 2x Nominations (Best Theatre, Spirit of Fringe), x3 Melbourne Fringe Judge's Picks and critical acclaim.
"Hot Lunch may have only made a handful of works together but they are quickly carving out a niche for themselves in the Melbourne theatre scene." My Melbourne Arts
