Part of
Tick, tick, BOOM! Time’s up, motherlovers!
The detonator is rigged, the fuse is lit, and these fierce femme tradies are taking a sledgehammer to the system.
DEMOLITION is an explosion of cabaret, theatre and social activism set to rebuild the world from the ashes up.
Featuring killer physical feats, daring aerials and antics, this is a sexy-as-hell, sweaty, and unapologetic reclamation of space by performance renegades, Polytoxic.
Wolf whistle, we dare you.

Polytoxic is an Australian collective known for creating hyper-visual, pop-inspired performance work built upon foundations of diversity, collaboration and intersectionality. The company is led by two feminist performance-makers at the top of their game: Lisa Fa’alafi (Hot Brown Honey) and Leah Shelton (Bitch On Heat).
This is a knockout night of cabaret that always punches up. There is no male gaze here, my friends.
