Welcome to The Kitchen.

A gathering point for friends and family, where different stories are mixed together. A place of rest and recovery, of learning. Where tensions are kneaded and the heat is in the hundreds. A place to rise, and fall; and ultimately to rise again.

Each night audiences will compete to win the coveted title of "breadwinner" with skill, creativity and determination. The prize is dough, baked of course. Join theatre makers Sophia Derkenne and Daphne Gerolymou-Papadopoulos for a night of mess, silliness and breadmaking in this interactive show that arose from sitting in a children’s playground attempting to make art.

The Kitchen is our playground. Are you ready to play?

Some more details...

This show is highly interactive - there's no sitting watching at any point. You'll be working with your fellow audience members in groups and sometimes solo (you won’t have to perform in front of anyone!), participating in tasks and games. That is the show. If that's not your bag, no worries. No bread for you.

The show is a messy one, you’ll be working with flour and dough and probably have dirty hands during the show. If this is something you’d like to know more about before booking a ticket, here is a google doc to the content and sensory information of the show: Breadwinning Access Guide

Celiacs this may not be the show for you! Eating bread is optional, but avoiding flour in the space will be impossible.

Also please feel free to reach out to us at sophiazoe.derkenne@gmail.com if you have any questions!

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung of the Kulin nation on whose lands this show has been devised and shared. The growing, making and sharing of food, and the gathering of people to share knowledge and storytelling has taken place here for thousands of years, and it is a privilege to make work in the context of this rich ongoing culture. We acknowledge Elders, past and present, and pay our respect to our staunch First Nations collaborators and audiences. Always was and always will be Aborginal land.
