This show belongs to the Fringe2020 season. This season is now over.

Homebrand

"Homebrand" combines the safety of your own living room, where you can be anyone you want to be, with the coldness that you feel the first time you tell your mum 'she doesn't understand'. It's that first time you see dad cry, had a fight, the cuddles on the sofa, the pile of shoes by the front door.

Riptide Youth Performance Company dives into their biological connections, combining an everyday domesticity mixed with stylised imagery that explores how you can be so close to your family genetically and in other ways be so far apart.

Mandurah's most prolific youth contemporary performance company will draw on baby photos, dad jokes, bad cereal and the family you just wish you had, to bring you a sometimes awkward, sometimes heartbreaking nostalgic cuddle.
