Ground Control

Overview

First, the bad news: Ground Control might be a space oddity, however, this Brisbane Festival show isn't a Bowie-themed production. Instead, it's a queer feminist science-fiction effort that tells the tale of young astronaut trying to find a second earth to save humanity from climate change, clever cyborgs and their own misogynistic ways. So, not too far-fetched then.

It's also an effort that's part science experiment and part love story — and part comedy and confronting performance too. And, if you're a fan of this experimental, urgent, immersive breed of theatre, there's more where it came from. Just check out the rest of Bris Fest's Theatre Republic program.
