Toys by Christina Evans
Sat July 22 and Sat July 29 at 7pm

TOYS won the Spirit of the Fringe ‘Never In A Box’ Award (sponsored by Motor City Fringe Festival), The Duende Distinction (sponsored by The Vagrancy) and the Encore Producers Award. TOYS was also nominated for Hollywood Fringe Best Dance/Physical Theatre, Hollywood Fringe Best International, The 2Cents Distinctive Voices Award (sponsored by 2Cents Theatre Group) and the Short and Sweet Award (sponsored by The Short and Sweet Festival).

Tricked, sold, used and broken. Toys delves into the dark shadows of sex trafficking where children are products stripped to the core. Mixing dance, theatre and film, Toys captures the chilling cycles of abuse, exchange and sexual corruption in which playthings worldwide are entrapped. Wind them up until they break down…

Performed to acclaim across Australia, including a sell out season at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Toys will debut in the US at Hollywood Fringe.

‘A dark but powerful expose of the sex trade’ (The West Australian)
