Hidden @ 7:30pm
We grow up with stories about the creatures that might or might not live amongst us. Who gets to tell the story? Do they have the same stories as us? We love reflecting around what might be out there, but is it better to let what is hidden, stay hidden? Inspired by Norwegian folklore, Hidden tells the story of two individuals who meet for the first time in Rimwood forest. Both needing a break from their families, they decide to wait together. While getting to know each other, they run around the woods, make a fire and a bond develops between them. However, it is not until all truths are revealed that one can see someone for who they truly are and their intentions are clear. Was their meeting a trick of fate or were there other forces at play?

Luke's Autisorium Emporium @ 8:30pm
A masking 101, Luke’s Autisorium Emporium invites you into the mind of the autistic clown and to share this celebration of neurodivergence. We hope you’re ready for a spectrum spectacular!
Luke's Autisorium Emporium explores the relationship between the clown and neurodivergent individuals, with Luke drawing from their own lived experience in order to form the show you see today. The show draws on clown, comedy and mask in order to tell Luke’s story - one that is to be seen as a celebration of their neurodivergence in an effort to invite the audience in to their world of “abnormality”. Be prepared for laughter, tears, identity crises, and most importantly, for the clown. The Autisorium will bring you along for a masking 101 and show the world what autism really looks like - because once you’ve met one of us, you’ve only met one, no two are alike and each should be celebrated. Come along to this spectrum spectacular and be ready for the long haul, as this show may feel like it’s going in circles.
