About DIAMOND
Diamond springs from the expansive analogy of the creation of rare and precious jewels over millions of years. Founded in a personal journey with Chronic Illness, Diamond becomes a reflection on resilience, longevity and potential for brilliance that comes with age.
​
Presented by the award-winning and internationally acclaimed Liz Lea, Diamond is a luminous, joy-filled exploration of ageing, resilience, and the dazzling complexity of womanhood.
​
Blending contemporary dance, song, cabaret, and a touch of burlesque, this one-woman show invites audiences into a world of humour, glamour, and heartfelt transformation. With moments of raw honesty and riotous play, Diamond celebrates the brilliance that emerges through time – the courage, fragility, and power that define us as we evolve.
​
Inspired by the enduring strength and many facets of a diamond, the work reflects on how we are shaped by experience, pressure, and the will to keep shining. A sparkling homage to the resilience and beauty of ageing women – bold, unapologetic, and full of life.
​
As part of this world premiere season presented by Q the Locals, Liz will be joined by some very special guests – expect magic and mayhem in this riotous search for the silver lining, the diamond.
This season will be accompanied by an Auslan Interpreter and Audio Description.
What a highlight RED was – quite a statement and an inclusive and unique work. It was
everything and much more than I expected. Congratulations!
I laughed in many parts and had tears running down my face in others. It was so touching, so
beautiful, it blew me away.
Liz, what a marvel, loved the show… so honest, so entertaining, such versatility, such stamina, I was exhausted after the first dance..what a talent!
