Sonder

The world premiere of a gripping modern queer one-man musical that lives in the breath between running and staying.

Set inside a pulsing nightclub that fractures into memory, ritual, and reckoning, Romeo confronts the moments that taught him to disappear and the choice to stay.

Sonder is a coming-of-age musical that refuses neat resolution, asking instead what it takes to remain in your body when love, truth, and belonging have felt dangerous. Blending live electronic music, ancestral chant, Mau Rākau, and raw storytelling, the piece moves between ecstasy and stillness, intimacy and chaos.

Written by Riki Lindsey and Mitchell Sloan, directed by Alexander Berlage, with movement direction by Fetu Taku, this world premiere new Australian musical is a bold and unflinching work of contemporary music theatre.

This is not about redemption. It is an act of presence. Visceral, poetic, and quietly devastating.
