From September 13 to 22, Milk Crate Theatre and Carriageworks present Fearless, a powerful and emotionally‐charged new production that goes well beyond traditional models of theatre to produce works that create change.
Milk Crate Theatre works with an ensemble of performers who have experienced homelessness and/or social marginalisation, allowing audiences to see the world through different eyes.
Fearless exceeds the expectations of a normal theatre show by taking audiences through an exploration of
loneliness from a marginalised point of view. Ten characters inhabit the world of Fearless, distilled by composer Daryl Wallis, chanteuse Christa Hughes and playwright Mirra Todd. Each character flinches at a point in their lives. In that moment, each life is unexpectedly hurled off its normal path into an emotional abyss. Fearless begins at this juncture where redemption, recovery, release or relapse is but an inch from each person’s grasp.
Milk Crate Theatre Director Mirra Todd, says of the production: ‘Fearless is at its heart a story of our intrinsic humanity, of our deepest and most primal selves; sometimes lost, sometimes yearning, but always striving to understand our place in a fractured world.’
