A Resourceful Hero Struggling Against Incredible Odds
5 – 13 February 2022
St Martins and Rawcus unite with a group of queer and allied young people to explode the word ‘hero’ into a thousand pieces and save you from it. [epic music]
Presented at the Malthouse Forecourt as part of Midsumma’s And / Or program.
Using verbatim text from 90s action films, A Resourceful Hero Struggling Against Incredible Odds is a simultaneous homage to and lambasting of Hollywood blockbusters. [gunshots and explosions]
A celebration of diversity and visual story-telling, this performance offers a chance to see the heroes none of us grew up with on our big (or small) screens.
