A scientist lives guided by algorithms. Like every one of us. Until the algorithm sends her in search of love. And the cure for cancer. What begins as a scientific investigation takes her through desire, ambition, and strange encounters, as the line between coincidence and meaning becomes increasingly difficult to draw.
Starring Kate Finegan, James Ireland, Fiona McGeown, and Ankur Vikal, The Cure for Cancer is the new darkly comic play by award-winning Argentine playwright and director Gabriel Graves, whose work has been presented in Argentina, Ireland, Italy, Ecuador and Mexico.
Winner of the Argentores National From Text to Stage Award for best play, The Cure for Cancer has its world premiere at Project Arts Centre.
ISL interpreted performance: 31 October, 2:45pm.
It wasn’t the fog I minded, I really love fog.
A new performance inspired by Eugene O’Neill’s magnum opus, Long Day’s Journey is a hallucination of a family prone to bouts of addiction, depression and despair. Moving chronologically from dawn until dusk, with the impact of dependency deepening as the hours pass. Building on the original characters of Edmund, James, Jamie and Mary but set 100,000 years later, the emotional terrain remains a dense mosaic of sorrow, culpability, resentment, reproach, devotion, and longing.
Long Day’s Journey explores the closeness of passion and death, human and divine, the sexual and sacred, culminating in startling original imagery, sounds, colours, text and movement.
None of us can help the things life has done to us. At last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.

Three years ago, a theatre maker set out to investigate woman’s tireless pursuit of alone time. She presents her findings, veering between texts from great female thinkers, banal thoughts about crockery and intimate vignettes from a marriage.
No Woman is an Island is a meditation on geographies of the Self. It maps the internal and external spaces in which we live our lives while walking a wonky line through cultural theories and histories of female solitude.
With sharp humour and quiet ferocity, the piece creates an intimate and thoughtful space for audiences to consider the relationship between productivity and identity.
ISL interpreted performance: 3 Dec, 6:30pm
Baby-friendly matinee*: 4 Dec, 12pm
