PETROL & REPAIRS
Performance
Saturday August 16th - 6:30pm-7:30pm
Artist: Ben Burns
What happens when you break down, and how do you begin again?
Petrol & Repairs is a spoken word theatre show that follows your average bloke as he navigates a roller coaster journey through the backstreets of high-octane avoidance, denial, and an inevitable crash.
Part theatre, part roadside assistance, this gritty and tender one-man show brings you face to face with a man who’s nearly out of fuel.
From having it all to losing it. From the struggle to ask for help to realising he has what it takes to get back on the road, with the audience itself becoming the chorus of supporters willing him back to life.
Set around an actual car, leaking actual oil, you may even be invited to get your hands dirty. When was the last time you changed a flat tyre?
With humour, heart, and the smell of oil in the air, Petrol & Repairs invites you into a world of stubborn refusal, cracked windscreens, and the quiet art of repair.
Strap in. It’s raw. It’s real. And it might just keep you going.
