Two acclaimed Australian works are set to appear at the Brighton Fringe festival.

The productions Niusia and Kinder employ poetic narrative techniques to examine themes of identity, recollection and the past.

Tickets for both performances can be purchased through lanterntheatrebrighton.co.uk.

Niusia stands as a solo theatrical piece examining the Holocaust via the perspective of a survivor’s granddaughter, delving into cultural heritage and resilience.

Following well-received seasons at the Melbourne, Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe festivals, this work will run at the Lantern Theatre between May 3 and May 7.

Beth Paterson, who earned a Filipa Braganca Award nomination, takes the stage in this production.

The presentation investigates the nuances of trauma passed through generations, stories inherited across time, and the duty to maintain recollections that risk being lost.

Kinder, which secured The List Festival’s Best LGBTQIA+ Award at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, will be presented at the Lantern Theatre from May 2 through May 7.

Ryan Stewart serves as both writer and performer for this piece, which examines youth, concepts around gender and the misuse of language.

The narrative centers on a drag-performer who finds themselves unexpectedly at a storytime session for children, resulting in a spirited yet meaningful exploration of nostalgia and the journey toward adulthood.

The work draws from Stewart’s personal experiences of growing up queer and neurodivergent without a diagnosis, finding solace within narratives and fantastical worlds.

Each production aims to provide audiences with new insights into the art of storytelling and the nature of memory.
