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.

Adelaide Fringe 2025 Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “It’s weird, it’s whacky and it showcases some great up and coming South Australian talent. Perfect choice for a Fringe show. “ - Adrian Barnes - Glam Adelaide

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 “The stellar cast of 7 brings First Love is a Revolution to life in an all-natural environment, performing in the Barbara Hardy Garden at Holden Street Theatres. As much as the production was thrilling and the cast excelled in their creations…” - A Thousand Words

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The acting is engaging and believable especially as the majority of roles are as animals and a number of the cast take multiple roles. There is humour too – a scene with a guard dog protecting the two grass seed obsessed chickens show the comic chops of the cast. The performance of the two leads is especially impressive. Rdeca the young vixen is animated and full of the attitude required for the part.” - Catherine Tune - The Clothesline
