What happens when yesterday’s revolutions are placed in the hands of tomorrow’s performers? The Shock of the New in Adelaide is a curated anthology performance of scenes from pivotal productions in the history of South Australian theatre—works that shifted the cultural landscape, sparked conversation, or simply refused to play by the rules. Performed by the graduating actors of the Bachelor of Performance (Honours), this dynamic collection traces the pulse of innovation through Adelaide’s theatrical past. From iconic breakthroughs to little-known provocations, the result is a vivid, shape-shifting evening of live performance—an archival excavation turned living, breathing theatre. A collaborative performance guided by the Australian Creative Histories and Futures Artist in Residence, director Chris Drummond, and supported by the State Theatre Company of South Australia, The Shock of the New in Adelaide unfolds against a backdrop of striking digital imagery and bold performer-led interpretation. Some plays began here. Others landed here and left a mark.
All of them helped reimagine what our theatre could be. Directed by Chris Drummond

A pair of kangaroo father and son became the most popular family in Melbourne&#39;s Mornington Forest. The father kangaroo, steady and tough, is the guardian of the family; the mother kangaroo, gentle and loving, is the soul of the family; the brother kangaroo, lively and curious, is the hope of the family. The little kangaroo in the pocket of the mother of the kangaroo is the future of the family, quiet and dependent. Each kangaroo interprets the happiness and harmony of the family in its own way. When the sun penetrates the leaves and spills on them, their furs flash with a warm luster, as if the whole world is illuminated by their presence. They jump and play in the forest, and their attitude of freedom and freedom makes people can&#39;t help but applaud and cheer for them. However, their presence also gives us a glimpse of the power of nature and the wonders of life. They are not just a kangaroo but part of the forest, which is key to ecological balance. Their presence reminds us to respect nature, protect ecology, and fill every corner of the world with the power of life. As we leave this forest, and this kangaroo family, we take away the awe of life, the gratitude of nature, and the love of life. We know that in our lives we will encounter all kinds of challenges and difficulties, but with enough courage and determination, we will be able to be as resilient as a kangaroo, whenever and wherever. Finally, let us pay tribute to this kangaroo family, to the courage and determination shown to them, to the life force they represent. May every life be respected and loved, and may every corner be filled with the power of life.
