Le Grand Soir at Etcetera Theatre

“My Dad would kill me if he knew I was on a lesbian parody of a Communist propaganda poster. Would he be right?”

Mille and Alissia have a lot in common: lesbianism, Dads who live in former Communist-turned-Capitalist-Dictatorship countries thousands of kilometres away, an obsession for raw red peppers. In this Sino-Russian version of Les Misérables meets Never Have I Ever, they invite you to a vibrant, biting and sincere celebration of daddy issues, queer friendships, Communist history... and multilingual forgiveness. Expect some physical theatre, singing rituals, Russian pickles, Chinese jokes, and dramatic PowerPoints, as their explore their relationships with each other, their Dads, and politics. Ready for the ride?
