#sydfest is done for another year for us but overnight the #oscarnoms arrive, and tomorrow afternoon I start six weeks' leave. So I'm leaving one high, but just jumping on another equal high.

LACRIMA was absolutely stunning. Incredibly layered, but seamlessly woven together. It knew exactly what to do with its form. I barely noticed it's running time, I was so rapt. An exquisite finale for #sydfest.

MAMA DOES DERBY was great fun, even if it took a while to get to the fireworks factory. The sleep paralysis demon (Nathan) was the MVP. #sydfest

ROTHAR was the kind of inventive physical theatre that #sydfest lives by. The kids absolutely loved it. It warranted an immediate lights-up "that was great!" from the 9yo.

Then tonight we went to Hurstville's premier independent funeral parlour for DEATH BY POWERPOINT, an at turns hilarious, thought-provoking and moving exploration of death from five queer artists. #sydfest

We had two #sydfest shows today, and we were uncharacteristically running latish for both of them, so I didn't announce either beforehand!
First we had THE BOGONG'S SONG, which was an absolutely beautiful show blending dance, puppetry and songs into a story of connecting with land.

BURGERZ: an absolute triumph. A powerful work that managed to be both devastating and riotous.
Standing ovation from me (and most of tonight's audience!) It's going to be one of the highlights of #sydfest

DEAR SON: a joyful introspection of what Indigenous fatherhood can and should look like. It felt like it was moments away from genuine heart-wrenching power and didn't quite get there. It might be right in the sweet spot later in the season. #sydfest

Dobby had one of the most singular albums of 2024 with WARRANGU; RIVER STORY. With the live performance, he turned it into something profound and beautiful. #sydfest
