[Past Event] Kitchen Kabaret

A cabaret style theatre piece about vegetables going through the cooking process

A strange jaunt into the world of fruits and vegetables.

A hopeful carrot, seductive eggplant, excited tomatoes, bad-boy potato and organic leek sing and dance their way from the fridge to the chopping board. They hatch a plan to run from their fate. But can they escape before dinner time?

This work is recommended for people ages 15+

Her film ‘Kitchen Kabaret’ won the ‘Chin Chin Award’ and has been selected for Hatched 2023, currently on display at PICA, Perth. Maddie Johnston (She/Her) is an artist, actor and director.
