🌈✨ Q***R FRINGE FOLK, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU... ✨🌈

Fresh from their season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, internationally acclaimed physical theatre sensation Only Bones is coming to Gosford for one night only.

Created and performed by acclaimed q***r New Zealand artist Daniel Nodder, Only Bones is a wildly inventive fusion of physical theatre, dance, clowning and transformation. With just one light, one square metre of space, and a wonderfully elastic body, Daniel creates entire worlds from almost nothing.

Part cosmic fever dream, part absurd comedy, part movement masterpiece, the work explores transformation, imagination and the endless possibilities of the human body. Daniel's broader practice includes collaborations with trans and gender-diverse artists and communities, and audiences have connected deeply with the show's themes of reinvention, self-expression and reimagining what bodies can be.

★★★★★ "Like sculpture in motion"
★★★★½ "A mesmerising comic performance that traverses space and time"

If you love q***r performance, contemporary dance, physical theatre, fringe festival gems, experimental live art, circus, clowning, and the gloriously weird and wonderful, don't miss this.

🎭 Friday 18 September
📍 FunHaus Factory, Gosford
🎟 Bookings: https://events.humanitix.com/only-bones-daniel-nodder

Direct from Edinburgh Fringe, this award-winning international hit is one of the most unique and imaginative performances you'll see all year.

Come support q***r artists, independent touring work, and bold contemporary performance on the Central Coast. 💖🏳️‍🌈🚀
