Time to pack your mince pies this July, The Kransky Sisters are bringing the party to town!

Travelling out in the trusty Morris from their hometown of Esk, these three musical siblings are eager to share their unravelling stories along with home spun renditions of popular songs deftly banged out on a wondrously odd-ball menagerie of instruments. From Britney Spears and the Spice Girls, to MC Hammer and AC/DC, get ready to hear popular tunes like you’ve never heard them before.

Complete with tuba, musical-saw, toilet brush, kitchen pot, biscuit tin, old reed keyboard and guitar, this off-the-wall Christmas in July is an experience not to be missed. A night with this delightfully twisted trio will more than fill your Christmas stockings this winter.

Engine | The Mass Ornament by Fran Diaz

Engine unites three extraordinary choreographers; Rafael Bonachela, Fran Diaz and Melanie Lane, for an exhilarating performance that promises bold, fearless dance.

The Mass Ornament by remarkable Berlin-based Spanish choreographer Fran Diaz to Australia for the first time, this hypnotic work, set to the music of Henryk Górecki, reimagines Siegfried Kracauer’s seminal 1927 essay. Diaz compellingly transforms the concept of mass movement into an exploration of connection and collectivity, where individuality coexists, not in opposition, but in dialogue.

Engine | Love Lock by Melanie Lane

Engine unites three extraordinary choreographers; Rafael Bonachela, Fran Diaz and Melanie Lane, for an exhilarating performance that promises bold, fearless dance.

Acclaimed choreographer Melanie Lane’s Love Lock is a reimagined folk dance of the future, drawing upon the collective experiences of diverse cultures, an accelerating world and disappearing lands. Love Lock celebrates the binding ability of dance to move, warn and empower, showcasing costume design by celebrated Australian fashion designer Akira Isogawa, layered with texture and colour, alongside a score composed by UK electronic artist Clark.
