Detox
Event Date: 22/10/2022, 07:45 pm
When does striving for wellness turn into illness …
This absurd, dramatic comedy explores the effects of diet and influencer culture on young people. Detox helps viewers understand the beginnings of eating disorders and how diet and influencer culture allow these illnesses to flourish undetected. Audiences will laugh, cry and sing along!
Formerly Bourke & Heather, Minerva Theatre Co. are passionate about talking about uncomfy things through comedy. Premiering at the 2022 Anywhere Festival, Detox was critically acclaimed – many audience members urged Minerva to spread Detox’s message far and wide. Described as “an effective takedown of diet culture” (Theatre Haus, 2022), Detox has been extended and adapted to be relatable to all genders.
