OBSERVER: Flicker
Pilot Comedy presents Flicker as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival from October 12 -18 at 7.10pm at the Motley Bauhaus Theatrette in Carlton.
Flicker is described as ‘a modern-day sex farce that blazes a trail for authentic obsessive-compulsive disorder representation onstage – A Young(ish) Perspective.’
After seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre, London, this new Australian staging assembles emerging creatives with OCD in a project that champions lived experience-led representation.
Flicker portrays one woman’s relentless struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s about navigating tumultuous thoughts and finding support in the people who care most.
When being queer goes from one of many intrusive thoughts to a real feeling, how do you know what’s true, or intrusive?
Written by Gabriella Foley and directed by Gryff Connah, Flicker was written in collaboration with OCD UK. This production is the Australian premiere, timed to open during OCD Awareness Week in October.
Pilot Comedy is a youth-led production company enabling young people to create theatre independently and free of financial risk
