It’s the final week of Adelaide Fringe and Festival, and Arts Garden brings together a powerful mix of artists exploring endurance, storytelling, and meaning.

🚴 Connor Delves joins us to talk about CADEL: Lungs on Legs: a high-intensity solo performance where he rides live on stage while telling the story of Cadel Evans’ Tour de France victory. We explore the discipline of endurance sport, the challenge of telling a “winner’s story”, and why this is such a uniquely Australian journey.

🎭 Casey Jay Andrews (Punchdrunk) shares insights into immersive theatre and her Designing Immersive Worlds workshop. We dive into how environment, design and storytelling can merge and how her latest work Feast of Words turns performance into a shared sensory experience through food, music and story.

📖 Gemma Parker discusses her memoir The Mother Is Restless and She Doesn’t Know Why blending philosophy, parenting and pandemic life into a deeply reflective exploration of nihilism, creativity and what it means to keep making work when conditions are far from perfect.

💥 Justine Martin closes the episode with an extraordinary story of resilience, from life-changing illness to building five creative businesses. We talk about “bouncing forward”, rejecting inspiration stereotypes, and the power of creativity as both healing and purpose.

Across sport, philosophy, theatre and lived experience, this episode asks:

👉 How do we create meaning when nothing feels certain?
👉 What does it take to keep going and keep creating?
