Prize Fighter

Prize Fighter


Adrenaline-pumping, full-contact theatre at its best.

Following smash hit seasons at Brisbane Festival and Sydney Festival, Prize Fighter returns to Brisbane as part of a three-month national tour. For three shows only, get ringside at Logan Entertainment Centre for a rare theatrical combo: engrossing storytelling paired with the visceral thrill of live boxing.

Isa is a young Congolese boxer blazing an impressive career between the ropes. Gearing up for the national title fight, he soon discovers it’s not just his opponents he has to outdo, but the demons from his torturous past as a boy soldier. Fleeing the Congo as a child, playwright Future D. Fidel lived in a Tanzanian refugee camp for eight years before being granted refugee status in Australia. Prize Fighter is inspired by his own story and those of the people he has known.
