If you want to brighten your world - or your arts pages - there will be so much colour and movement at and around La Mama from June 27 - July 2. Co-presented by La Mama and Lemony S Puppet Theatre.

And La Mama Explorations showcases 30 glorious experiments, from emerging artists, such as Victoria Winata who won the Union House Theatre / La Mama Award last year, all the way through to established artists such as Kate Hunter and Rea Dennis. So many fun risk-taking artists, a new experiment every three days, and something on every night from July 4 - Oct 8 providing the chance to enjoy this very exciting part of the process of creating new art.

Plus La Mamica is back with faves Musica, Poetica and Cabaretica, and this season we welcome special guest - Midsummica, presented by alumni from the five years of the Midsumma Pathways Program for LGBTQIA+ artists living with disability and neurodiversity.
