Presented by Joanne Tindale with Brisbane Anywhere Festival, 'Buttercup and Venus: Cowkeepers Extraordinaire' is a slightly absurd short play about the loss of usefulness and the meaning of family. Ageing dairy cows Buttercup and Venus are Cowkeepers; housekeepers and surrogate parents, to 17-year-old Charlie and eleven-year-old Maxime. In this alternative world, dairy cows are bonded with a child from birth to the age of 18. As Charlie is about to turn 18, Venus must look for another job and accommodation or risk homelessness. This project is supported by a Creative Sparks grant. The Creative Sparks grant is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council to support local arts and culture in Brisbane.
