DION 

Adelaide Fringe FEstival 2018

“... a revenge art lesbian hand grenade”★★★★ The Age

You leave the house. You get into a stranger’s car. You go for a drive. It’s not real though, because you met them online. Part simulated drive, part actual drive, part love song to being left alone. Or driving away. Or accidentally being hit by a car. Dion is an ode to fitness, heartbreak and the things you see when you choose to look.

Dion is about love and what happens after love. Dion is about being alone and 29 and making questionable life choices and not having impulse control and being an under-achiever. Dion is about hearing your heartbreak. And then making glue out of strangers’ spit to jam it back together. Dion is about gay sex apps and casual sex and car rides in the suburbs.

Winner of Best Performance at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2016, and nominated for two Green Rooms Awards, Dion is Gold Satino’s Adelaide Fringe debut.

Gold Satino is an award winning Independent Theatre and Performance Art Collective based in Melbourne. In the making of this work Gold Satino have been stalked, filmed, yelled at and nearly arrested. Prepare for something out of the ordinary.

“A highlight of this year’s festival, Dion is many things: a fringe lesbian revenge art grenade, an absurd trip to heartbreak and back again and (thanks to some brilliant location scouting) a magical mystery tour of North Melbourne’s secret corners.”

“The idea of drive-by theatre may not be unique to the company ... but these artists have perfected the form.” ★★★★ Cameron Woodhead, The Age
