Two bananas wake up duct-taped to the wall of a prestigious art gallery and meet their maker. Will anyone get paid?

Birthed from the burnt-out brains of Katie Burson and Georgie Llewellyn, How to Art is a physical theatre-clown-fruit mash-up about making art, surviving, and chasing mass a-peel. Jesters, collectors, and narcissists reign in this low-brow exploration of the cost of creativity and the art of living.

In an industry that values youth, perfection and mass production, can two bruised bananas go the distance? Dripping in desperation, can they find their place before they're put up for sale?

Find out how starving these artists truly are. Watch out, Picasso.

“Totally fabulous, accessible, relentlessly funny, and splendidly performed…one of the funniest shows I have ever seen anywhere – it’s slapstick, knockabout, clown-like physical comedy” - Lexie Matheson, Theatreview

Hot on the heels of its critically acclaimed debut season at Basement Theatre, Auckland, How to Art is the debut production from Ratbags, a new collaborative hothouse for multidisciplinary performance-making in Tāmaki Makaurau. How to Art has been developed over the past two years with generous support from artistic residencies at Wellesley Studios, Capital E, and TAPAC.

In its Wellington premiere, How to Art features performances by Katie Burson, Georgie Llewellyn and Browyn Ensor, production design by Rob Byrne, costume design by Dan Collings, larger-than-life props by Tse-Yu Lin, sound composition by Lucas Haugh, and lighting design by Alylai Flynn. Produced by Charlie Underhill for Ratbags.

Join the team for a free Touch Tour before the matinee performance in the Te Auaha Cinema on Saturday 1 March, 3:45pm.
