We Make Friends with Karl Marx

ChaoticOff-beatSilly
A dark skinned femme person sitting on a white background. They are wearing a long brown skirt, an oversized black sport jersey, a pink knitted beanie, and black chunky boots. They have bleached eyebrows, and are looking sceptically into the camera. There is a red pentacle painted on the ground. Around them are various witchy items such as candles, books, and crystals. In the centre of the pentacle is a pile of coins, a copy of 'The Communist Manifesto', and a framed photo of Karl Marx.

An absurdist dark comedy looking at the arcane nature of capitalism and girlhood.

In a last-ditch effort to finish their assignment in time, three mismatched teenage girls summon the spirit of Karl Marx to help them with their history presentation on the man himself. Despite having left it to the last minute, this first hand account will surely give them the edge they need to win their school’s highest honour - The Award.
During their seance, Marx possesses one of the girls, and is now determined to resurrect his communist dream within the age of hyper consumerism, AI, and #ads. It’s ‘Scooby-Doo’ meets ‘The Craft’. A fever dream slumber party. This is Group Assignments Gone Wild.
Led by award nominated theatre maker Henry Kelly, this project is in collaboration with a hand selected ensemble of queer, femme artists.

Performed by: Lakyn Gavidi, Myf Hocking, Jahnavi Shivakumar, and Meg Taranto
Dramaturgy by: George Lazaris
Sound Design by: Beau Esposito
With special thanks to Kaine Hansen, the truest comrade of them all.

'We Make Friends with Karl Marx' was developed at La Mama Theatre as part of their 2025 residency
program.
