FESTIVAL OF COLOUR

Elephant Talk - Student tickets

Come and support our music and drama students, along with a group of MAC alumni, who are collaborating on this original piece as part of the Festival's Community performance.

The show explores the ongoing effects that technology and the pandemic have had on the next generation of young adults and their ability to connect and move through awkward moments. The audience listens to intimate conversations between friends and observes them in all their clanging awkwardness. As you make your way to a live fundraising concert you plug into a playlist of original songs on your device and ponder the importance of those vulnerable yet poignant conversations.

Tickets are still available for all shows from Monday 27 March to Saturday 1 April, with a special student ticket price of $15 for Tuesday evening, so grab your friends and come along!
