About Spark
A sequel to the acclaimed CULT showcased in 2023 at Midsumma Festival and Melbourne Fringe, Ryan Henry’s SPARK offers up another cautionary tale; the spectacle of aligning a gay man’s experience along the narrow road of “love at first sight.” In a world where information and connection is readily available at the swipe of your fingers, are you able to digest it fast enough? Are you too picky? Will you suffer from digital neglect? Join Simon on his quest through the smartphone screen and see if he will survive the hilarity, the devastation and the Camp of it all before time runs out (anyone have a charger he could borrow?).
SPARK promises a night of entertainment and self-reflection in equal measure. You won’t know whether to laugh or question everything they know about love by the time the screen goes black.
