Description
Classification
Presented by the award-winning and internationally acclaimed Liz Lea, Diamond is a luminous, joy-filled exploration of ageing, resilience, and the dazzling complexity of womanhood.
Blending contemporary dance, song, cabaret, and a touch of burlesque, this one-woman show invites audiences into a world of humour, glamour, and heartfelt transformation. With moments of raw honesty and riotous play, Diamond celebrates the brilliance that emerges through time – the courage, fragility, and power that define us as we evolve.
Inspired by the enduring strength and many facets of a diamond, the work reflects on how we are shaped by experience, pressure, and the will to keep shining. A sparkling homage to the resilience and beauty of ageing women – bold, unapologetic, and full of life.
As part of this world premiere season presented by Q the Locals, Liz will be joined by some very special guests – expect magic and mayhem in this riotous search for the silver lining, the diamond.
This season will be accompanied by an Auslan Interpreter and Audio Description.
a very strong, powerful, intimate and autobiographically revealing work
