Census

Award-winning duo Malandra Jacks introduce you to what happens when a working-class community tells its own story.A bus ride. A bingo card. A memory you didn’t know you shared.

This is our neighbourhood, not the one in the media, but the one shaped by our stories, our laughter and our silence.

Malandra Jacks invite you into a world of spellbinding projection, real voices and unapologetic heart.

Census is part theatre, part time capsule: a celebration of communities rarely seen on stage.

Funny, intimate and defiant, Census is a love letter to working-class communities, a call to remember who we are and what we carry with us.
