Mockingbird Theatrics latest production, The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe opens here at Belco Arts tonight!

The Wolves follows nine teenage girls as they warm up for their indoor soccer games. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigour of a pack of adolescent warriors. As the teammates warm up in sync, a symphony of overlapping dialogue spills out their concerns. By season’s and play’s end, admidst the wins and losses, rivalries and tragedies, they are tested and ready – they are The Wolves.

“The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured play” – The New York Times

“The Wolves is a delightful meditation on society, s*x, and soccer…Delappe’s dialogue is hilarious and idiosyncratic, moving swiftly from gross-out humour to pain…a smart, sympathetic, female work” – Village Voice

Tickets via: https://www.belcoarts.com.au/wolves/

💀ENTRIES FOR SUBCULTURES CLOSE 27 OCT 💀

Submit your work in any visual medium for our open exhibition celebrating the vibrant and often misunderstood world of subcultures, bringing to light the rich tapestry of alternative identities, communities, and expressions that flourish outside mainstream society. ⁠
⁠
Through a mix of mediums including painting, photography, illustration, and collage, subcultures aims to reflect on how fashion, music, political ideals, and shared lifestyles converge to create powerful subcultural identities. We encourage creators to capture the unique aesthetic markers of these groups but also their stories of solidarity, marginalization, and rebellion. ⁠
⁠
Curated by Red Saunders

Enter your artwork by midnight Monday 27 October to be a part of the exhibition: https://www.belcoarts.com.au/subcultures/⁠
