“One of the funniest shows I have ever seen anywhere” - Lexie Matheson, Theatreview
Two bananas wake up duct-taped to the wall of a prestigious art gallery, encountering their creator and questioning their purpose. Three artists, two auctions, one audience. Will anyone get paid?
Birthed from the burnt-out brains of kiwi theatre makers Katie Burson, Georgie Llewellyn and Bronwyn Ensor, How to Art is a physical theatre-clown-fruit-mash-up about making art, surviving, and chasing mass a-peel.
Can these two bruised bananas go the distance? Ripe with potential, can they find their place before they’re put up for sale?
Jesters, collectors, and narcissists reign in this low-brow exploration of the cost of creativity and the art of living.
Watch out, Picasso.
“A superb clowning commentary on the contemporary art scene.” - John Smythe, Theatreview
