Peacemongers by The People at Darebin Arts Centre

You’re invited to dinner and a show. The show is about bigotry and polarisation. It’s also a musical to lighten the mood. Dinner will be hearty and simple, served by our good friends at Moon Rabbit.  

Peacemongers is a real-life attempt at utopia. It’s documentary theatre at its most absurd, and an act of rebellious and delusional hope. Witness a group of ordinary people who set out to write a play about an ideal society, one in which bigotry doesn’t exist. What started as an exercise in rehearsal, spirals into a years-long endeavour.  

Let us welcome you to dinner and the final stage of this quixotic undertaking, in which this unconventional company of artists attempts to answer the question: What do we do with people we disagree with?
