Tarsha Cameron Brings UNAPOLOGETIC to 2023 Adelaide Fringe Festival
Performances run 18 - 26 February.
Adelaide artist Tarsha Cameron is bringing her debut cabaret Unapologetic to the 2023 Adelaide Fringe Festival to explore what it is to be an unapologetic woman.
Playing at Nexus next month, in Unapologetic Tarsha unpacks the everyday experiences that challenge us, from familial dysfunction to profound love, unrequited dreams to midlife crisis.
"Unapologetic started as a whimsical look at my love of dance and all things pertaining to the arts, but as the writing progressed the work evolved into a much more authentic and truthful expression of who I am. I believe this is a reflection of my own personal growth which is evident across all my art practices that seem to be increasingly moving towards vulnerability," Tarsha says.
The show, which was developed through a mentorship with cabaret royalty Amelia Ryan and Michael Griffiths, uncovers what it is to be a perimenopausal unapologetic woman. Does it mean you're angry or shrill? Does it make you a dangerous woman? Does it mean you're a bitch because you don't smile at the former Prime Minister? Or does it simply mean you no longer give a shit about what other people think?
"Tarsha is incredibly refreshing in her honesty and insight, and it's resulted in a show that's poignant, heartfelt, and relatable. It's been such a joy to help her bring it to life. She's worked in such detail and with brilliant creative conviction. I can't wait for audiences to experience this beautiful show," Amelia Ryan says.
If you've ever questioned your own family lineage (and subsequent psyche!), you'll be compelled as Tarsha unpacks hers in this highly relatable and insightful hour of story and song.
Accompanied by Laine Jamieson, Tarsha shares her tale - hilarious as it is heart-breaking - through a stellar set-list and heartfelt authenticity.
Up4T Productions presents Tarsha Cameron in her debut cabaret show, Unapologetic.
