CHAMPIONS
Written by Isabella McDermott
Directed by Bali Padda
What does it really take to “MAKE IT”?
Four upcoming artists are suddenly thrust into the limelight upon their nomination for the prestigious Archer Award. They each have half a year to create an exhibition worthy to take out the top spot. It’s. THE. big. break. Yet, when one finalist rejects a proposal to split the $50,000 prize, suddenly nothing is off limits.
CHAMPIONS is a depiction of the art world that thrives on ambition and greed, asking “What does it take to survive in the art world”.
After a critically acclaimed (and extended!) season at the Basement Theatre in Auckland / Tamaki Makaurau, CHAMPIONS by Isabella McDermott makes its Australian debut this year at the Old Fitz’s New Works Festival and is not to be missed.
