  • Created and Performed by: Alisa & Ania

'Dumplings Darling: Love Without Borders' is a heartwarming performance of storytelling, love, and handmade dumplings - celebrating what brings us together and sets us apart. Part theatre, part live music, and reminiscent of childhood story-time at the library, this intimate and unique protest piece combats the fear and division wreaking havoc across the world. Alisa and Ania will transport you on a magical journey of laughter, heartache, and hope - and yes, there will dumplings.

This event is also part of the Melbourne Fringe Encore program at Geelong Arts Centre with an encore session on Thurs 26 Oct, find out more HERE,

The larger figure appears to be jamming an abstract shape, vaguely reminiscent of a spoon, into the other figure's mouth
