‘perhaps, a theatre company.’ present this bittersweet exploration of love, community, grief and the trauma of growing up queer
About the Event
It was always going to end, wasn’t it?
Andie and Tessa. Comets destined to pass one another, doomed by the narrative. On their first date, sharing their coming out story for the 500th time over a bottle of expensive rosé, it feels meant to be – but as their relationship expands with heart and thrill, so do the ghosts of their closeted past. as the pair desperately struggle to escape the echoes, will they find their place amongst works of fiction?
With an all-queer female-aligned creative team led by five-star playwright Emmett Aster, i can still see all the stars. shines a light on the trauma of growing up queer. A bittersweet exploration of love, community, and grief, this compelling story will leave you wanting to hold yourself and your loved ones with tenderness.

‘heartbeat.’ tells the real stories of those attempting to create a career in the arts long after everybody else has grown up.
blending theatre, spoken word, music and verbatim elements, this debut show from ‘perhaps, a theatre company.’ follows five west australian artists as they desperately try to find meaning in their role as a performer. ‘heartbeat.’ explores the power of art in a world that favours the monotonous, returning both the audience and the performers to the magic of childhood and the thing that connects us all: the all-consuming, undeniable desire to create.
