Ignis

Anthropocene Play Company proudly presents, as a part of the 2022 Melbourne Fringe Festival

Ignis
By Daniel Nellor, after Schnitzler

A gripping premiere season that deals with love, class, sex, betrayal and the apocalyptic realities of a landscape on fire, Ignis is the story of 10 individuals and 10 encounters.

A PHD student visits a sex worker. A compromised politician can't quite manage intimacy with his wife. Two old school friends rekindle a flame. An injured firefighter meets a bored nurse. Within a city negotiating a Summer of punishing bushfires, an uncommon group of people emerge searching for meaning and connection in a chaotic and frightening world.

Unfolding live in the unique and intimate setting at Toorak Manor, the Anthropocene Play Company brings Melbourne audiences a truly immersive experience. Characters guide you from room to room as each scene unfolds - the hotel itself cast in the rich emotional landscape of the play.

Performed by the Anthropocene Play Company ensemble and directed by Bronwen Coleman (Director DIRT - Critics Circle and Frank Ford Award Winner Adelaide Fringe 2021), Ignis runs this Melbourne Fringe for nine nights only. With a limited capacity per show, book early to avoid missing this exclusive theatrical experience.

This season is proudly supported by Melbourne Fringe Cash for Creatives, Regional Arts Victoria Sustaining Creative Workers Initiative and the City of Casey Department of Arts and Cultural Development
