Four short plays by Alex Broun; directed by Wolf Heidecker
Yell (ow):
An incident in the night triggers a chain of revelations about the fragile relationship of a couple. Love and loyalties are tested when the history of the violent death of the women’s sister becomes unstuck. When intimate knowledge becomes a burden.
The Dead Sun:
A surprise visit. A story about loss and grieve, strength and light. Love goes both ways - giving and accepting.
You
Hilarious encounters in the aftermath of different levels of physical intimacy.
Disco Bombing
Sharing understanding of social and political circumstances, ideals and philosophies can lead to inner controversies that may strain relationships and the will to work together towards a better world – whatever that is. Truth at what cost; intimacy is also a choice.

Tipping Point 2029
A ‘seriously’ entertaining theatrical contribution to the Climate Change debate
by Werner Mittelstaedt/Wolf Heidecker
The Showroom (Theatre) at The MC Showroom
at Level 1, 50 Clifton Street, Prahran VIC 3181.
14 - 17 May 2025 (7:30pm - 9:10pm) Tickets available from March 2025
Recently, United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, issued a dire warning to representatives from 40 countries at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, calling for more concrete action to tackle what he called a “climate emergency. “We have a choice,” Mr. Guterres said in a video message. “Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.”
In that speech Guterres also officially used the term ‘Tipping Point’ that seems to be very close.
There are not many stage-plays around about Climate Change and Global Warming, topics important for artists to comment on and to raise awareness in word and song, especially in the theatre, a place where socially and politically relevant topics historically have their forum.
The new Australian play Tipping Point 2029 by Wolf Heidecker is based on a book by German Futurist, scientific environmental activist, and Futurism-Philosopher Werner Mittelstaedt who, in close cooperation with his Australian writing partner, provided the actual figures and facts referred to in the script.
The Play is set in a TV-Studio prior to the recording of a panel discussion and offers a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ view behind the scenes which is quite informative but also entertaining as is inherent in the genre.
2029 – for many years Australia has experienced the devastating consequences of global warming.
The Story
A life discussion in an European TV show created worldwide panic – for the first time it was officially announced that the earth has reached the »Tipping Point«, the point of no return in the destruction of the environment. Climate change with a non-reversible perspective.
An Australian TV-station has invited nationally renowned personalities to calm the situation by informing the population about the »facts« and »data« instead of spreading fear and innuendo. It is accomplished TV-Presenter Bettina Roland’s job to get the most positive outlook into the future from her discussion.
Get an intriguing look behind the scenes of this TV production that has no precedence, the tensions and blunt truth of a panel discussion recorded and not live streamed for a reason …
Is that the future – our future?
Encouraged by experiences with the critically acclaimed production of plays about the successful community protest against the establishment of a ‘Toxic Waste Dump’ in the outer West of Melbourne (A Hole in the Ground by Janet Brown and Joanne Ryan [MP since 2013]), the Australian justice system (The Australian Justice Supper by David Strangward) and the 2011 Melbourne Festival production about homelessness in Melbourne (Site Unseen by Graham Pitts and Robyn Szechtman in collaboration with the homeless community) with Tipping Point 2029 the focus is on another topic that is of significant importance not only to the local community but humanity in general.
