Bleached

Written by Laura Collins Directed by Ruby Rees

Bleached is a new theatre work by western suburbs based theatre company, Wit Incorporated.

It explores the impact of climate change on all living things set in a future world where the countries are locking down, colours are fading away, bees are being buried and the human race are disappearing. The 60-minute piece is written in a whimsical, poetic and accessible way and will be followed by a 20 minute Q&A with the artistic team.

“The last time it happened I floated in it. They were bleached and barren, but they released their insides anyway.”

The world is in decay. Colours are fading away. The bees are buried. Countries are closing.

Everyone and everything will be washed out… Bleached.

In Collins’ absurd and poignant new work, Australian tourists crawl the globe, “like cockroaches”, consuming all it has to offer, before it is locked down forever; a last-ditch universal effort to fight the climate crisis.

And they will blame chickens...
