Batsh*t

Expect a horror show of guttural physicality, Freudian lip-sync, pseudo-hypnosis, and Prozac-laden humour.

Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy

Strapped in, belted up and dressed to kill, psycho siren Leah Shelton dredges through history to unravel the hypocrisies and conundrums of female madness.

Both wildly theatrical and unexpectedly intimate, BATSH*T draws on stories personal and perennial to explore the myths, fantasies and fears that keep us compliant, and the systems that let us down. 

Created by the killer creative team behind B*TCH ON HEAT and TERROR AUSTRALIS, this is the third solo work by Leah Shelton, directed by Olivier award-winning performance artist Ursula Martinez (UK).

 

“doesn’t waste a single moment - a transfixing combination of fierce intellect, intense presence and bold physical comedy” ★★★★½ (The Age)

Approximate running time: 80 mins

Auslan interpreted performances will occur on Thursday 13 October.
