What do we really need in this fine dystopian hellscape of ours? Authenticity? Human connection? Don't be silly! We need quirky existential cabaret! If you're mentally ill, or neurodivergent (or both), you have probably asked yourself, why do I always cry on my birthday? Why does it feel like I'm living the same day over and over? How many times am I going to be recommended to 'get a planner before' I become viOLeNt? And…What does ‘being human’ actually mean in this strange inhuman world? All this and more may or may not be answered, in Grace Colsey’s (they/them) "enthralling and immersive” multi-award-winning expedition into the chaotic, weird, and (un)wonderful world of their brain. Don’t miss your last chance to catch this “must see if you are neurodivergent” in Adelaide. Prepare to laugh and cry in the same 30 seconds.
