The State of Grace, Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Grace was a high-class sex worker, who rose to meteoric fame on social media, branding her as Australia’s best known sex worker globally. She was an activist and modern-day maverick, until suddenly, she died. Multi-award winning artist Michaela Burger (A Migrant’s Son, Exposing Edith) explores her legacy in this one-woman show. Through Grace’s unpublished writing – hip hop lyrics, poetry, monologues, and musings – Burger unveils her multifaceted life. Grace’s outrageously funny wit and charm, fearlessness and ‘f*ck it’ outlook on life will seduce you into marching with this social justice warrior who was determined to decriminalise the sex industry.

Presenting Grace’s moving true story through a mix of spoken word, song and movement, Michaela Burger reveals the legacy of this brilliant minded harlot and brings her audience on a fascinating journey. This exhilarating piece of new writing will thrill Edinburgh’s Fringe audiences this August for its preview season, supported by House of Oz with Assembly Festival.

Simply Brill, Perth International Cabaret Festival

Amelia Ryan, Michaela Burger & Michael Griffiths

Join a stellar cast of Adelaide’s acclaimed cabaret artists, as they celebrate the golden age of rock’n’roll, sexual revolution, and the leaps and bounds of women’s liberation. In a time when men were the producers, promoters, and piano players – women weren’t given a place, so they made one for themselves.

Number 1619 Broadway – the ‘Brill Building’- was the heart of New York’s music scene in the 1960s. It housed some of history’s most prolific female songwriters, including the magnificent Carole King, Cynthia Weil, and Ellie Greenwich. With hits such as ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow?’, ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’, and ‘Leader of the Pack’, their songs gave voice to an entire generation.

A Migrant's Son at Edinburgh Fringe Festival - 4-26 August

A true-life, original musical tribute to the heart, hilarity and sheer hard work of the migrant experience. This multi award-winning, critically acclaimed show explores one of the most colourful times in Australian history: the arrival of the Greeks! 

Igniting memories of a story that millions of migrants can relate to, Michaela Burger pays tribute to her Greek migrant family and hard-working, fun loving larrikin father Luke who defied all odds.

Premiering to a sell-out Adelaide Cabaret Festival season, this critically acclaimed work conveys an incredible true story, brought to life through original music written and performed by Burger alongside local community choirs.

Featuring a live band, including piano and bouzouki, Michaela tells her family story with poignancy and comical aplomb. The show is both hard-hitting and hilarious, traversing 100 years from Russia to the Australian outback – following the hardship, ingenuity, tragedy and triumph in all migrants’ stories.
