How to Art
An award-winning clown-fruit-mash-up about making art, surviving and chasing mass a-peel.
Two bananas wake up duct-taped to the wall of a prestigious art gallery. Three artists, two auctions, one audience. Get ready to bid! Winner of the Melbourne Fringe ‘Tour Ready Award’ (NZ Fringe) and nominated for ‘Best in Theatre’ at Melbourne Fringe, 2025. In a world that values youth, perfection and mass production, can two bruised bananas go the distance? Ripe with potential, can they find their place before they're put up for sale?
Find out how starving these artists truly are. Watch out, Picasso.
