Legendary theatre group Frumpus are back with their indefinable brand of lovingly handmade silliness. Three shifty women – wordless, but with plenty to say – embody hairy disco yetis, haunted embroiderers, grovelling medieval maids, grotesque Hollywood actresses and Brontësque hunters of farts in the mist. Joyfully fearless, occasionally filthy and frequently hilarious, Landed inhabits an epic landscape of swiftly ever-shifting characters, seasons, props, costumes, projected imagery and soundscapes. As the plot darkens, something fierce and unnerving emerges too. Born from the rich, anarchic energy of the underground, alternative Australian performance scene, Frumpus has created anarchic and beautifully absurd stage-based adventures for decades. A bold and ballsy work that pushes the edges of performance and comedy, Landed is one of the sharpest, funniest and most unsettling pieces of new theatre around, Frumpus – where chaos sparkles and failure shines.
