EDEN
Eden is a lyrical coming-of-age story where land holds memory, desire awakens, and childhood quietly gives way to adulthood. Set among heat-soaked vines and fading farmland, Kit and Dan navigate first love, inherited dreams and the pull to become someone new. Written in a theatrical language that drifts between realism and poetic confession, Eden captures the beauty and danger of growing up — where love can bruise, hope persists, and transformation is inevitable. A moving, intimate new Australian work at The Courtyard of Curiosities as part of Adelaide Fringe. @AdelaideFringe @CourtyardOfCuriosities #EdenPlay #AdelaideFringe #NewAustralianTheatre #ComingOfAgeStory #IndieTheatre #LivePerformance #FringeSeason #AdelaideArts
PILGRIM
PILGRIM is a bold, intimate solo work by performer Kate Walder, presented by award-winning company Steps & Holes at Adelaide Fringe. Blending storytelling, movement, music and ritual, the show follows an “accidental pilgrim” through belief, doubt, loss and return — tender, playful and quietly epic in scale. Trained with legendary French teacher Philippe Gaulier, Walder brings precision, humour and emotional openness to a performance that invites audiences into a shared act of reflection. PILGRIM continues Steps & Holes’ signature style of using the fool to explore life’s big questions with warmth and curiosity. @AdelaideFringe @StepsAndHoles #PILGRIM #AdelaideFringe #ContemporaryTheatre #Clowning #LivePerformance #AustralianTheatre

HAUS of YOLO: Where Circus Meets Couture in a Riot of Queer Joy - Australian premiere at Adelaide Fringe
What happens when a fashion house is put under circus-level pressure? HAUS of YOLO doesn’t just ask the question — it stages the meltdown. This glitter-soaked cabaret from The Dust Palace fuses live costume-making with high-risk performance, turning creativity, time pressure and spectacle into a full-body experience. Known for pushing circus beyond the expected, the company leans into excess, humour and bravado, inviting audiences to witness artistry in motion and identity on display. With its pulse firmly on contemporary culture and its heart in collective celebration, HAUS of YOLO is more than a show, its a shared night out — loud, messy and electric. If you’re craving theatre that feels alive, unstable and joyfully out of control, this is a world worth stepping into.
