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.
