Deirdre Khoo joins Trash Pop Butterflies, Dance Dance Paradise by Maki Morita

Deirdre Khoo joins the new work of Maki Morita - Trash Pop Butterflies, Dance Dance Paradise, which will be premiering in the Midsumma Festival in Melbourne. She will play the feisty anarchist Pepper alongside Zoe Resnick and Hayley Edwards.

A clock turns backwards. A baby has lasers for eyes. A talking butterfly materialises in midair. 
‘Trash Pop Butterflies, Dance Dance Paradise’ takes a kaleidoscopic dive into a world of climate crises, cultural rebellion, and utopian dreams.
Part theatre, contemporary dance, and Riot Grrrl fanzine come to life; Morita’s anarchic and experimental work is about what it might take to create something beautiful and new out of ecological collapse.

Presented from the MKA | PAVILION pop-up theatre in the beautiful surrounds of the Fitzroy Gardens.
