A carrot-themed exploration of surviving during impossible times, from the creator of ‘Shitbag’.

Welcome to The Carrot Show.

Following the smash-hit success of Shitbag and the burnout that followed during increasingly disastrous political times, Hayley Edwards turned to making a giant paper-mâché carrot.

In this joyfully absurd new work, Edwards reunites with multi award-winning designer and dramaturg Justin Gardam (Bloomshed, Shitbag). Together, they combine cardboard, projection, fragments of an old puppet theatre from Edwards’ maternal great-grandparents and Melbourne’s Carrot Man to ask how artists can keep making work in an increasingly unstable world.
