For this special presentation, BMEC will transform part BMEC into a temporary art gallery created specifically for the show, immersing audiences right in the middle of the comedy before they even take their seats.

No words. One task. Two clowns.

Tis’ the grand unveiling ceremony at the Masterpiece gallery and it’s finally time to unveil the latest, most prestigious new artwork. But unfortunately, there’s nothing to unveil.

Only two arrows pointing to exactly where the supposed Masterpiece should be hung.

Enter two art handlers, dancing with said Masterpiece, entirely unaware of their lateness and the fact that they’re being watched. Rae Colquhoun-Fairweather and Will Bartolo have a simple task: hang up a piece of art. But what should be a simple task quickly becomes a hilariously drawn out portrayal of persistence, partnership and performance anxiety.

Masterpiece promises a theatrical experience like no other. The fusion of mime and live music invites a broad spectrum of audiences – of all ages and backgrounds – into a space where connection is made not through words, but through presence. In a world often consumed by haste and noise, Masterpiece offers a rare space for simplicity and shared joy. This is complemented by a playful critique of the art world, the humour of common workplace dynamics, and the ageless allure of slapstick comedy.

Silly, poetic and deeply funny, Masterpiece promises a clowning experience like no other.

Completely accessible and full of heart, this performance uses no spoken word just pure physical comedy, music, and imagination that everyone can enjoy.

*Masterpiece was developed with the support of Legs On The Wall and the Inner West Council.
