"Under director Mathew Lee, the action is handled with flair and humour...
Little Eggs Collective’s inventive portrait of a tempestuous artist-abuser is a must-see."

"Go! Be challenged and embraced by the excellence of a singular, bespoke work."
Judith Greenaway, Reviews by Judith
★★★★
"The exceptional ensemble, alongside Wilson, build a world flecked with horror and humour, grounding sophisticated and haunting vocals with a clear sense of intention. It is a pleasure to watch."
Cassie Tongue, Sydney Morning Herald
Symphonie Fantastique is a romantic epic, a monolithic work, a dark and perfumed symphony that revels in fascination, obsession, the dizzying highs and self-destructive lows of a pained artist and their drug induced hallucinations. Contemporised into a fifty-minute live work for the stage, Little Eggs will take this French Symphony from the 1800s and - through live music and movement - present a queer theatre work exploring party-culture, psychedelia, and violence. Composed and devised by the company.
