Skinny
Skinny! It’s more than a word—it’s a societal chokehold.
A lifelong battle with scales, shapewear and shifty surgeons. But there's an alternative! Backed by a powerhouse band, multi-award-winning vocalist and cabaret performer Michelle Pearson dishes up a stunning blend of pop anthems, soaring ballads and raw, real storytelling.
With stunning vocals and eye-opening interviews, this inspiring work unpacks society's toxic obsession with diet culture urging us to rethink what beauty truly means.
Heartfelt, relatable and uplifting, it's a celebration of every shape, every size and every person who's ever looked in the mirror and wondered: is this slimming?

Honest Fraud
Ricardo Malerbi and Rudi Solon present a unique kind of game in which every player expects to be deceived and finds joy in it. If you accept the challenge and embrace the deception, you will leave more exhilarated than when you arrived. This show explores the fine line between what is real and what merely appears to be, turning illusion into an act of pure honesty and celebrating the paradox at its core. A decision will feel entirely yours – until you realise it never was. Telepathy, after all, is not about reading minds, but about guiding them.
