"KOAL" is the Festival's first ever family show!
"KOAL" is a one-woman climate-catastrophe-clown-show for the end of the world. As wildfires tear through Australia, a baby koala, a coal miner and an Indigenous girl desperately strive to hold onto their homes before all burns and turns to ash. 'KOAL' takes the audience from laughter to tears as it explores what is lost when your home is erased."
