So there’s this party she’s having. It might be a funerary rite or a birthday celebration, depending on your perspective. Either way she’s wearing a nice dress and her best heels.
An international, inter-generational collaboration between two transgender writer/performers, UK legend Jo Clifford (The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven) and local emerging artist Bayley Turner, Thirty-Six explores the complex relationship gender diverse people have with aging, mortality, grief and growth.
Directed by Kitan Petkovski (The Inheritance), with set and costume design by Bethany J Fellows and lighting design by Spencer Herd.
