Koal

Fresh from acclaimed seasons at HOTA and Brisbane Powerhouse, KOAL comes to Kingston Butter Factory with a powerful story about the meaning of home in our changing climate.

Performed by Jacinta Yelland and directed by Trey Lyford, this one-woman physical theatre show takes audiences into the heart of the 2019 Australian bushfires. Through the stories of a baby koala, a coal miner and a Torres Strait Islander girl, KOAL moves from laugh-out-loud comedy to moments of heartbreak, exploring what happens when the places we call home are suddenly threatened or lost.

Blending documentary theatre, clown and audience interaction, KOAL is urgent, funny and deeply moving—a must-see performance about resilience, loss and the fight to protect our shared world.

This show is ideal for school students and will also appeal general theatre lovers of all ages.
