The Book of Loco

Overview

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world. Luckily Alirio Zavarce is here to guide us through it. Co-founder of the South Australian theatre company The Border Project, the Venezuelan-born performer hits Melbourne on July 17, and he's bringing his award-winning one-man show with him.

A hit at last years' Adelaide Fringe Festival where it scored a nod for Best Theatre Production, The Book of Loco charts lunacy in all its forms, from the madness of war to that crazy little thing called love. Mixing wry observations with deeply personal anecdotes, the show sounds like it'll either be brilliant or insane. Or maybe, with a bit of luck, both.

Also, did we mention that the set is made entirely of cardboard boxes? Well, it is. About 2000 of them in fact. So yeah…there's that.
