The Festival of Australian Queer Theatre (FAQT) will kick off its inaugural program from 22-25 August in Ballarat, Victoria, with a festival theme that is centred on ‘authentic disruption’.
Curated by playwright and director Dr Robert Reid, the Festival is described as ‘a proof of concept’. Reid elaborates, ‘As far as I can see historically, there hasn’t been a festival dedicated to Australian queer theatre… There hasn’t been an opportunity for community to come together and celebrate, but also interrogate what we think of as queer theatre in Australia.’
