Thirty Six: A Birthday Party That’s Also a Funeral (You Pick)

She’s all dolled up. Candles? Check. Table? Set. Guests? Summoned — both the living and the lost. This ain’t your average birthday bash. It’s a radical celebration of survival, a quiet elegy for those we’ve lost, and a bold middle finger to a world that tries to erase us before we even age. Think of it as your queer therapy session with glitter, grief, and a killer outfit.

Brought to you by Aperture Productions, this fiercely intimate collaboration between UK theatre legend Jo Clifford and Australian powerhouse Bayley Turner is not just theatre — it’s a reckoning. An elegy. A revolution in heels. Seriously, if you’ve ever felt like you’re dancing through fire just to be alive, this is your show.
