Bitten! Three Snake Stories
by Carrie Tiffany
​
Stella Prize-winner Carrie Tiffany delivers a truly unique performance inspired by the snake showmen of early 1900s La Perouse, Sydney. Bitten is a darkly lyrical tale of venom, survival, and the strange cures that linger in memory.
This performance will be followed with a short Q&A between Robert Gott & Carrie Tiffany
