This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

Two performers lie side by side on a colourful grid-patterned rug, surrounded by spoons, vinyl records, and soft light. Their heads rest together, eyes open, suggesting calm connection and quiet recovery.
Two people sit on a colourful grid-patterned rug. One wears headphones and reads while the other leans against her, gazing away. Juggling balls, a skipping rope, and records scatter around them in a warm, sunlit scene of calm, parallel play.
A performer lies sprawled across a vivid, grid-patterned rug, surrounded by scattered metal spoons, a record player, and a chair draped with red fabric. Her body is still, eyes distant, evoking exhaustion, surrender, and sensory overload.

SpOonLess

Ever feel like your energy drains faster than everyone else's? You're not alone.

The award-winning creators of BOSS SQUAD (★★★★★ Serenade Files) are back with a gripping new season packed with skill, unexpected humour & heartfelt storytelling.

Inspired by Spoon Theory, using spoons to symbolise energy levels, SpOonLess follows two neurodivergent people as they navigate the invisible struggles & secret joys of living outside the mould.

Fusing acrobatics, juggling & sideshow with spoken word & live music, SpOonLess explores concepts like hyperfocus & stimming to unmask the beautiful messiness of the neurodivergent experience as “different not less”.

Ultimately, SpOonLess embraces a dramatic journey of connection & acceptance, highlighting the power of compassion for when the spoons run out.
