  • Artists: PIGEONPIGEON

  • Created and Performed by: Ryan Hamilton

  • In Association with: Georgie Wolfe, Seb Whitaker, Chelsea Jones

This show is exactly what it says on the tin—a guided walking tour of everywhere I’ve been on a first date in Birrarung Marr. You’ll need to bring your phone and headphones to dial in to hear a journey through perfect nights and heartbreaking ghostings. Buckle up your Birkenstocks, because we’ve got a lot to get through.

Led by multi-award-winning theatre-maker Ryan Hamilton, Guided Walking Tour asserts queerness’ place in the urban fabric, examining how queer people search for love and why we build our lives around romantic connection.

This is a love letter to all the boys who never ended up loving me, to Narrm, the Birrarung, and the cozy corners of the city we build a life in.

With love,
Ryan
