MICF: Shiralee Hood – Rock the Boat

Hidden under the streets of Melbourne’s CBD hides Shiralee Hood’s new show, which focuses on our current political situation and the history of racism in Australia against indigenous communities.

Hood’s takes great pride in reminding us that she is a black original Australian, a woman and left-handed, which provides a great running joke for the rest of the show. With a focusing on the time she has spent staying at the Tent Embassy in Canberra, Hood isn’t afraid to make the audience feel a little uncomfortable about their own privileged lives in a good-natured way.

It is also pleasing to see Hood support the work of other indigenous female performers, with her act being supported by Denise McGuinness (a fellow Deadly Funny award winner). This is a clever, relevant and down-to-earth show.
