Directed by Hannah Smith

Music by Amelia Rooney

Step into a wild, surreal world where love defies nature’s laws. "First Love is the Revolution" is a darkly comedic, poignant tale of first love that transcends boundaries. When Basti, a teenage boy, and Rdeca, a young fox, meet, they’re drawn into an intense and untamed connection. As their unlikely bond deepens, they face the chaos of primal instinct and rebellion, blurring the lines between predator and prey, human and animal. This daring, unconventional love story explores identity, desire, and the raw thrill of youth, inviting audiences to experience love’s wild, unsettling edge. Presented by graduating actors of South Australia’s leading actor training institution, the internationally renowned Flinders Drama Centre.
