YAY FOR CANE TOADS!

YAY FOR CANE TOADS!

Arvo-tea on the veranda, a priceless view, and…I’m forgetting something… Never mind! …How are your investments going darling?

Physical, wordy, weird, poignant, poetic and hilarious, this genre-defying cook-up get’s stuck into that pantry full of stale, unfinished business, pulls out a desiccated rat and some sugar.

Born on Kulin country, grown up on Kabi Kabi country, creator and performer, Kendra Keller, aka Lady Longdrop, is a whitefella and multidisciplinary artist, wrestling it out with deep-tissue questions around colonial-capitalist barbarity, normalcy, amnesia and arrival. Are you ready?

YAY FOR CANE TOADS! returns for its Qld Premiere after being nominated for Best Theatre and winning the Spirit of Fringe Award at Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2019.
