Isabella Box: Sealed to Prevent Tampering

Making its world premiere at Melbourne Fringe, Sealed to Prevent Tampering is a one-woman cabaret-comedy about Isabella Box, a hyper-femme drag queen who locks herself inside a museum after discovering her toxic boyfriend Max Hunt’s manipulation. Trapped, she becomes an accidental performance art sensation – dubbed 'the dead cat in the box' – while her self-discovery unfolds under Max’s shadow and the public eye.

A woman of grace, grit and glitter, Isabella sings, dances and laughs her way beyond constraints. But creator Zo Star keeps appearing, blurring the line between performer and character: is she saving Isabella from her demons or hijacking the show to play with the audience?

For anyone who’s been love-bombed, ghosted or gaslit, this wild, hilarious and deeply human ride blends character comedy, physical humour and fearless storytelling with Zo Star’s signature mix of hilarity and heart.
