STRANGEkit
STRANGEkit is a performance collective of emerging and diverse artists committed to creating works that are compulsively engaging yet provoke more questions than answers. They aim to create unique events devoid of concrete explanation but rich with new questions, meditative serenity, and deeply confused absurdity. STRANGEkit’s diverse body of digital work can be found at strangekit.com
“STRANGEkit are doing some of the most progressive and edgy digitally engaged work in Australia right now. They've got the energy and inspiration of the early 2000s Indie theatre boom with an online aesthetic. Their work is very necessary right now.” - Robert Reid, Witness Performance, 2020
