Democracy Repair Services (Halls version)
Noemie Huttner-Koros
A climate thriller that explodes into poetry, asking: how do we live through the end of the world?
Called among “the best writing of 2025” by Guy Webster, Democracy Repair Services is the story of four teenagers forming an activist collective during a catastrophic bushfire season and election campaign. Led by the passionate leader Viv, tensions boil over as the group questions whether democratic processes are working.
Travelling from the near-extinction of the Bogong Moth in Canberra to the creation of the earth’s oil fields, the audience is invited to imagine the our nebulous future. Drawing from writer Noémie Huttner-Koros’s decade of youth climate activism, Democracy Repair Services fuses urgent political questions with poetic storytelling.
Intended as a gentle kiss, a hearty soup, and a punching bag for all your feelings about the world right now, this is a show for anyone who has ever felt powerless in the face of something enormous and a reminder that movements are just people deciding to show up and try anyway.
