Under the direction of Kitan Petkovski\, Smyth’s powerful performance is supported by a live choir of four singing Rachel Lewindon’s hauntingly beautiful original score. The result is a transcendent take on what it means to be human\, imagining Christianity’s message of love extending to embrace all those traditionally excluded because of their sexuality or gender. \n“I wrote The Gospel According to Jesus\, Queen of Heaven because I wanted to resist\,” says Jo Clifford. “Resist the profound and damaging shame and fear and guilt that has been with me almost all my life. The shame and the fear and the guilt that comes on almost all of us trans women and men born into this hostile world.” \n“An amazing fusion of theatre\, storytelling and ritual.” Stage Whispers \n“An inspiring antidote to the legacy of shame left by many a church upbringing.” The Age \n★★★★½ “Smyth’s performance is enthralling” Arts Hub \n★★★★½ “This is a deeply affecting piece of theatre” Theatre Matters \nPhotos by Daniel Rabin \nSupported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Cast and Creatives” tab_id=”1452941644640-19a0de81-e87a0201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c51f1f-8993a3c4-5ca5cb85-3d54189f-4d6f8ba6-b9f1c3de-c779″][vc_column_text]Director: Kitan Petkovski \nPerformer: Kristen Smyth \nComposer: Rachel Lewindon \nSet and Costume Designer: Bethany J.

An exploration of life in flux\, of meltdown and renewal\, chronicling the end of a great love. A deep love. The resulting highs and reckless lows. The lacerations and blood clots: souvenirs of Sicilian summers\, kick-ons in maternity suites\, pizza in bed watching Netflix alone. \nSmall Cruelties is queer pop at its most ambitious\, subversive and raw. As though Frank Ocean wrote an album for Amy Winehouse\, turned on the early naughties house and set it in the key of Rufus Wainwright. In short\, this is a break up album\, presented in full technicolour as a piece of abstracted performance art. Say goodbye to your dream boy. Say hello to Willing. \nCheck out the trailer for the EP here and Willing’s single\, I Swear We Won’t get Caught here \n‘Fast-moving and impressive musical storytelling’ – The Age \n‘Simply outstanding talent as a vocal artist.’ – Australian Stage \n‘Outstanding song-writing talent’ – Aussie Theatre \n  \nPLEASE NOTE: If your preferred performance is showing as sold out\, please check the Midsumma website for availability here. \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Ticket Prices and Concessions” tab_id=”1452941768731-94b426f3-57530201-342dcb0a-2ec9a177-581a2513-a5c54d67-10e8″][vc_column_text]\nTicket Prices:\nAll tickets: $25\nDouble Bill with Lucky: Songs by Kylie: $60 \n  \nPLEASE NOTE: If your preferred performance is showing as sold out\, please check the Midsumma website for availability here. \n  \nNO BOOKING FEE SURCHARGE[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][vc_empty_space]Buy Tickets [vc_empty_space]Buy Double Bill [/vc_column][/vc_row]
