Artefact Musical Sparks Big Potential
About this episode
The episode discusses the premiere of the bold musical 'Artefact' at the Adelaide Festival Centre, highlighting its themes and performances.
A bold, boundary-pushing musical called “Artefact” — aka “Repatriation: The Musical” — just premiered at the Adelaide Festival Centre, and it’s already making waves. Written by Lincoln Elliot, this work-in-progress tackles the heavy, timely issue of cultural repatriation with wit, heart, and unflinching honesty. Through a clever, multi-layered narrative that weaves three timelines together, it keeps audiences glued — even when the subject matter gets intense. The cast, including standout performances like Joe Kalou’s electrifying rap and Adam Spain-Mostina’s hilarious Queen Victoria impression, delivered with confidence and chemistry. While still a preview, the energy, storytelling, and musical flair are undeniable — this is a show with serious potential to become a major force in musical theatre. Don’t miss the next iteration — it’s already shaping up to be something special. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
