Sebastian is “that kid” at high school. He’s weird. He smells. He’s obsessed with comics, and talks to himself. But after a catastrophic fallout with his only friend, Claryssa, he wakes up with a moth in a jar by his bed, and a calling to save the souls of all humanity. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian: a journey into a terrifying and starless night.
By turns dark and shimmering, Moth is a firework of a play. Channelling Donnie Darko, Disco Pigs and Copenhagen, it is a fast, funny and heartbreaking story about two young people with nowhere to go.
First produced in 2010 at the CUB Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, Moth has its European première at HighTide Festival Theatre before opening at the Bush.
Performing in the Bush Attic space – Please be aware that the attic space is only accessible via stairs. Please do phone the box office to discuss any access requirements you may have.
