Step right up and enter a realm of enchantment and astonishment – welcome to LIMINAL, the first of the many shows from Apt.13 Productions added to Westoria’s Friday Night line-up.

Fresh off acclaimed performances at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and as Emerging Theatre Makers Anywhere award winners from Queensland Theatre, this talented troupe is ready to transport you to a magical world of curiosities.

As the first act in an exciting roster of shows at Westoria, LIMINAL blends clowns, magic, music, dance, and art into a spectacular tapestry of talents. Drawing on their background in stand-up comedy and Shakespearean theatre, Apt.13 Productions promises an experience like no other.

But the wonders don’t stop there. In addition to the showstopping headliners, Westoria features local roving performers and live bands to complete the carnival atmosphere. The venue is dedicated to offering regular employment and creative opportunities for these gifted entertainers.

Prepare to be dazzled by the hand-picked cast of quirky characters. Clara Cupcakes, the Queen of Cute, will win you over with her ukulele ditties and sweet-as-pie charm. The Pain Proof Pixie brings her delightful brand of weirdness, magic, and macabre acts to shock and amaze.

Born of fantasy, Adorah Bubbles conjures nostalgic whimsy with her bubbles and rainbows. Burlesque artist Donna Mae Tricks turns up the heat with her saucy drag performances. And Stevie Bishop’s personalities and personas will take you on a wild ride.

Every Friday, from 7 October 2022, visitors will receive a grand ‘EATS meets West’ spectacle where visitors can escape the city and enter ‘a peculiar place where everything and nothing makes sense.’

Tuck into tempting treats from aromatic street-food stalls, including Wagyu Blacks, Roll It Ice Cream Co, Cairo Eatery and more, while indulging in devilishly good beers, wines, and Westoria’s first mystical signature cocktail ‘Stardust’…if you dare.

This new weekly night market promises to be a place where the ‘weird, wild, and whimsical’ comes to life.

There will be live music, enchanting fire dancers and stilt walkers, plus a bizarre, fun-filled performance from Rebel Lyons. Mae the Medium will also be on hand to help the curious see their future unfold before their very eyes!

Westoria opens at 120 Jane St, West End, on Fridays, 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. beginning the 7th of October. You can find them right next to the home of the West End Markets.

The market is organised by Goodwill Projects, the same folks who brought Brisbane some of the widely popular farmers ‘markets in Milton, The City, Redcliffe, and Carseldine, as well as the iconic Teneriffe Festival.
