Cric Crac Crone
at the Sydney Fringe Festival

Cric Crac Crone. Witch, hag or goddess?

Ohhhh Yeah its true an adults only show at the Sydney fringe September 2010.
www.sydfringe.com/

When you think of a crone, its likely a witch or hag springs to mind, but the original notion of the crone is traced to the triple goddess of womens development (youth, birthing years and golden wise aged woman who wears the crown of wisdom). In Cric Crac Crone I hold true to this tradition. The crone is sassier, bitchier, sexier and jaw-dropping hilarious. This show is about living a full, juicy life. Straight from performing at the Darwin Festival, Lillian is what she refers to as Pure Ossie, part Pipil Indian (El Salvador), part Palestinian, part Scottish and part Portuguese, born in Paddington and raised in Sydneys western suburbs. Lillian weaves this rich cultural heritage together, blending creation stories, folk tales, life lessons and music, along with a good dose of heart, to create a unique performance at The Factory Theatre, Marrickville. You will be let in on Pipil Indian secrets, ancestral whisperings, and hear a good dose of womens wisdom.
