23 – 26 Sept
Throttle
A B-grade thriller viewed from within the safety of your own car
Brisbane Festival and Brisbane Showgrounds present
The Farm
Throttle is lit by your headlights, heard through your car radio and seen through your windscreen. This is a live-action drive-in with an exhilarating, 360-degree dance performance.
A single pane of glass allows us to feel separated from the world outside. It absorbs road rage and shields us when we sing along to the car stereo, but what happens when we’re invaded in that bubble of safety? Throttle is like nothing you’ve ever seen before!
Scream with delight, dive under the dashboard or grip the hand of your fellow passenger and ignite some fun-fuelled passion.
Buckle your seatbelts. You’re in for a ride.
Order your food and beverages
We are now accepting orders for food and beverages which you can enjoy from the comfort of your car during the show. This is a strictly no BYO alcohol event and there will be no opportunity to purchase food and drink on the night. Orders will be available for collection via a drive-thru collection point.
Place your order here by 4pm the day prior to your performance.
At The Farm work is made in a collaborative process where everyone brings their expertise without being confined to it. All the names you see below contributed creatively to the making of this work. All animals are equal.
