Champions

Little Goat Arts & Entertainment presents the Australian Premiere of CHAMPIONS, a sharp, lyrical, and moving exploration of ambition, success, and the cost of creativity, as part of The Old Fitz Theatre’s New Works Festival from 11-26 October.

CHAMPIONS takes audiences into contemporary art’s competitive, high-stakes world, where ambition and greed blur the line between success and survival. It asks: when winning becomes everything, what sacrifices are you willing to make?

The story follows four emerging artists who are thrust into the spotlight when nominated for the prestigious Archer Award. With just six months to create their best work and a $50,000 prize on the line, tensions rise. When one finalist refuses a proposal to share the prize, the gloves come off, and no one is prepared for what happens next.

Fresh off an extended, critically acclaimed run at Auckland’s Basement Theatre, CHAMPIONS is a poetic and razor-sharp dissection of the lengths we go to for success.
