The Australian Trans Theatre Festival, co-presented by Green Door Theatre Company, Carriageworks and Malthouse Theatre, under the artistic direction of Dino Dimitriadis, marks a historic moment in Australian performance: a festival dedicated entirely to the voices and visions of trans and gender diverse theatre artists.
Running 7-18 January at Carriageworks (Sydney) and 21-31 January at Malthouse Theatre (Melbourne), the inaugural festival unites trailblazing artists from Australia and beyond for a month of urgent, ambitious, unapologetically trans-lensed storytelling.
Headlining the festival is international writer, performer, activist and icon Travis Alabanza with their acclaimed hit BURGERZ, the first time Alabanza has performed the work in Australia. Winner of the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, BURGERZ has been a sell-out sensation across the world since 2018.
Alongside BURGERZ, the program features performances of Daley Rangi's Takatāpui and staged readings of new works Hermaphroditus by Zoe Terakes (Talk to Me), and Gull by Glace Chase (Triple X).
