Be the first to witness this amazing work – created for and by young people aged 13 to 25. Dirty Apple makes its world première as part of the Queensland Music Festival and Q150 celebrations. Exploring issues that are relevant to the youth of today, this work is reflective of their interests and of significance to young audiences and the wider community.

When Ben takes revenge on his teacher with the help of modern technology, things go from bad to worse for him and his schoolmates. Tragedy ensues, accusations fly, and feelings of remorse, denial and despair make this one of the most powerful youth opera you will ever experience.

The collaborative process adopted for the development of the work is unique, and flows from the company’s work with Backbone Youth Arts. Dirty Apple is suitable for those 13 years of age and over and contains coarse language.
