garçon by wani toaishara at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre

Award-winning artist and storyteller wni toaishara brings his powerful one-person show garçon to Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre. 

Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy, garçon is a dynamic coming-of-age story, taking audiences on a journey through wni toaishara’s childhood in Auckland, New Zealand. It is an ode to Black and brown boyhood, told by one of Melbourne’s most adept cross-disciplinary artists, and promises to be a transformative experience that speaks to themes of identity, masculinity, and the journey to manhood. 

Recognised for his work that celebrates Black life, representation, dislocation, and Indigeneity, toaishara's production offers a deeply personal and intimate window into his upbringing. 

The one-man show garçon by wni toaishara runs from Oct 30 to Nov 3 at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre. Tickets range from $38 full, $30 concession, $33 for Darebin residents, $20 preview, and $10 Blak Tix.

Special performances include the preview on Oct 30, opening night on Oct 31, and an Auslan-interpreted show on Nov 1 with a post-show artist talk.
