101011001: DUDE, WHERE’S MY GENDER? by Audley Anderson and Haz Lugsdin
a live collage, a pantomime drive-in, and a fever dream. Hop-skip-and-a-hump to a place where time is determined by temperature and love is a measure of success. You’ll be whisked through the wormhole, unzipped by your flesh, giggled to confusion, and hopefully, have the spunk to spew up the keys to your Brand New Gender.
Join yourself on a journey that is non-linear, non-sensical, and in an ethically non-monogomous relationship with reality.
P#RNSCAPE by Sacha Slip
This show is called ‘p#rnscape’. It contains female rage.
‘p#rnscape’ is a one-woman show that tackles sexuality, lust, rage, and trauma. It is interested in the intertwined nature of sex and violence, and pleasure and pain, and it ultimately seeks to explore the grey areas of consent, specifically in the wake of non-consensual encounters.
In the waiting room of an STI clinic, a woman awaits her results. The neon lights catapult her between the waiting room and her personal red-light district as she backtracks through significant moments in her past. She asks if she’s complicit in her own trauma, if she’s a product of the world she lives in, and how to ask someone you’re casually dating to choke you during sex. ‘p#rnscape’ is sexy, funny, confronting and violent.
We all know that “no” means “no”, but what happens when you fantasise that “no” means “yes”?
DARK MOON by Margaret Thanos
a form of theatre never seen before. With each audience member having a different perspective on the unfolding events to the person next to them, Dark Moon is a social experiment in morality and personal bias .
POLLON by Eliza Scott
When someone disappears, who becomes the custodian of our experience?
pollon is an interdisciplinary piece that explores resilience, memory and how we interpret our surroundings. Formulated with music, anecdotes and interviews with people who have experienced dementia and/or Alzheimer’s, pollon is a work that uses pre-recorded audio; including dialogue, songs, instructions to connect participants to the memories we may have left behind. This work investigates the lost ritual of memory. If our realities are being split into keepsakes, how do we continue to associate ourselves with who we are?
