BAMBINA BORRACHA LOGO  
  ABOUT THE COMPANY

Bambina Borracha Productions is passionate about creating new, fearless art. Coming out of the University of Sydney, the company strives to create opportunities for artists in the greater community.

Persephone's Wolf, the company's debut production, is a sparkling incarnation of these two drives. This new work is a genuine, giant collaborative effort from university students, exhibited artists, the Sydney community and Bambina Borracha Productions.

Bambina Borracha's co-founders chose the name of the company as a tribute to one of the better named characters of Cait Harris' 2006 production of Roll My Blues - Bambina has since made further appearances including Ooh Casiopeia (by Zoe Norton Lodge & Cait Harris 2007).
