2. The Desert Bard

Step into the wilderness and witness a spectacular creation unfold.

Lost boys Sam and Boggins meet in the barren wasteland and transform scraps into a towering fantasy machine. Prepare to be surrounded by the action as the walls of their imagination are built up around you. In this powerful, immersive experience, journey with Sam and Boggins as they navigate a raw, heartfelt coming-of-age story tackling mental health, addiction, and the desperate need for escape. Fuelled by a soundscape underpinned by live Irish folk music compositions, this is quintessential fringe theatre you can brag to your friends about seeing.

Hot Heads are an international theatre company coming to Melbourne after touring across the US and Australia in their touring puppet bus. Multi-award winners, unorthodox, proudly queer and neurodiverse, The Desert Bard promises to be Hot Heads’ most ambitious show yet.
