THE PARTY THERE

About the show

Chance encounters. Hidden desires. Romance under occupation. And unbridled joy as an unstoppable protest. The Party There is a series of intertwined vignettes taking us through the intersection of pride, protest and Palestinian resistance. It is a collage of rebellion and love and freedom and fury, from Gadigal to Gaza. Lovers under occupation navigating heartache and blockades. Protesters outside a police station continuing the decades-long fight for queer liberation. A confession of love lost under the rubble. Family histories discovered on the dancefloor. A secret rave behind boarded-up windows, as young queer people dance through the night knowing they might not make it to morning. A kaleidoscopic look at what it is to embody ecstasy and beauty as the ultimate resistance; it’s a reminder of just how small and intertwined our worlds have become. The fight echoes across borders and hemispheres – and the party here is the party there.
