Image shows Alys in a silver sequined dress reaching towards the audience. Alicia stands just in frame on the right, spraying a smoke machine towards Alys. She is wearing a sequined gown.

When Saturn Returns' is a 45-minute performed duet that is explosive, surreal and bonkers.

The show follows performers and real-life close friends, Alicia and Alys, as they battle with expectation, fear and success.

When Saturn Returns follows a game that takes the audience and performers on a dramatic journey of whimsical imagination, vulnerability and disappointment. Our characters are spurred on by demonic creatures born from ideas of success.

The chaos of When Saturn Returns is interrupted by small moments of comfort and hope found in friendship and platonic intimacy. 


Two performers, Alicia & Alice jump in the air. They are wearing undergarments labelled with the numbers 31 and 32.
