These Youths Be Protesting

Written and directed by Izabella Louk

Playing at KXT on Broadway

April 4th-19th

Led by future school captain Lemon, the students of Sunlake Downs High School’s Recycling club hold a cake stall so they can save up for one of those cool machines that turns cans and bottles into money.

 

Visited by local politician Greg Moresby who presents them with a giant novelty cheque (#vintage) and posts about their cake stall on instagram, the club soon discover they’ve been used as a political greenwashing tactic to distract from Moresby approving a new coal mine on the site of their favourite hang-out spot; The Dunes, and the club are dragged into a whirlwind of social media, political mud-slinging, and other people’s opinions.

​

These Youths Be Protesting was a finalist in the 2024 Martin Lysicrates Prize, was developed through the Shellharbour Incubator Artist’s Residency, and was supported by bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company through their Residency Program at KXT on Broadway.

​

A comedy about climate change, this is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Don’t Look Up.

Blinking Light acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we gather. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

The climate fight must include First Nations voices. Sovereignty was never ceded.

It always was, and always will be,

Aboriginal Land.
