Event Details

The classic Aussie road trip turned on its head. Delve into this wild and surreal world as you journey from the familiar to the micro world of bacterial monsters.

Hit the road with national icon Reg Mombassa as retro-futuristic robots, one-eyed koalas and other strange creatures take over Customs House. As one of Australia’s most beloved artists, Reg immerses us in an other-worldly journey, presented in his signature style.

Here, nothing is what it seems. A rebel at heart, his playful but biting humour plays with established Australian icons in a strange new light. We are left to question our collective identity and what it means to be human.

Dog Trumpet will be performing live and free at Customs House on Saturday 25 May at 7.30pm.
