Art, War, and Other Catastrophes

Lights, Camera, Action! Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Xi Jinping, Masoud Pezeshkian, Zelenski, and His Holiness Pope Leo perform Tug of War Tangoโ€ฆ Cut to Art, War and Other Catastrophes

Seven Melbourne Inner-suburb creatives, pissed off with cuts to Arts Funding, are forced to review the situation as they grapple with genocide; brought daily into their lunchroom just before dinner time.

The Bleeding Hearts are horrified and upset and cope with feeling powerless by distancing, โ€˜Why blame me? I am just a small link in that human chain of pain.โ€™

The Woke Pacifists cry, โ€˜Make Art Not War!โ€™

The Pragmatists muse about the nature of Art and War; โ€˜War has created some amazing art. And we all know what 100 years of peace created in Switzerland. Cuckoo Clock!โ€™

And The Angsty Nihilists mock, โ€˜Hey all I am saying is give war a chance.โ€™

But when push comes to shove, the entitled characters of Art, War and Other Catastrophes, are all more traumatized by Arts Funding Cuts than by Man Made Global Disasters. Playing War Games not so different to those played by the Big Bad Guys OUT THERE on the world stage.

We strongly encourage using public transport. The Butterfly Club is a short stroll from Flinders Street station and Melbourne Central, and an even shorter stroll from any tram that travels through Swanston or Collins Streets (get off at Town Hall).
