FIFO

FIFO is a theatre show about all things Fly In/Fly Out. Following one full ‘swing’ of 5 mining employees, ‘FIFO’ delivers a full spectrum of experience, leaving audiences in uncontrollable laughter and teary reflection.

The show offers a raw insight into the individuals, couples and families working around a ‘FIFO’ roster. As we follow the cast on their exploits, we gain insight into the cost-to-benefit ratio of the FIFO lifestyle. Each character’s motivations and crutches are revealed, leading to both intense conflict and mate-ship, in what seems to be a very regular ‘swing’.

Suddenly a 5th employee enters the fray, and she’s here to shake... wait! It’s a woman?! On site!?!? As the boys struggle to adjust to their new workplace dynamic, the industry itself is interrogated. The site becomes the fore-front of some serious allegations, and the very fabric of Australian society is put to the test.

Drama becomes allegory as hard truths are revealed about Australia’s long and tangled relationship with mining, and we’re left with a decision to make: Is it time to cut ties from this toxic relationship? Or can we rebuild the very foundations of Australian Industry.

Showcasing some of Perths most exciting talent, ‘FIFO’ combines enthralling drama, explosive physical theatre and touching personal stories to leave audiences with much and more to dig in to.
