While You SleepWhile You Sleep deftly probes the uncertain landscapes between grief and identity, reality and illusion, as an aural and visual excursion into both the musical fugue and the psychological 'fugue state'. Bringing together string quartet, piano, electronics, video and animation in a surreal counterpoint of music, movement snd image, this dreamlike new work dives into memory uncertainty and our own delicate, repeated paterns of behaviour. The InfirmarySubmit to the caring hands od others in order to contemplate your mortality. Set in a hosptal ward, The Infirmary invites you into a uniquely sensorial encounter that enables you to consider life and death as science and mystery. A Mysterious IllnessOn February 21, 2005 at Melbourne Airport, 57 people were affected by a mysterious illness. Early reports attributed the illness to the distribution of an anknown gas via the airport terminal's air-conditioning system. It was initially feared this may have been a terrorist attack by unknown hostile international agents.
However, evidence of such a gas was never found.
Die! Die! Die! Old People Die!Inde theatre legends, David Woods and Jon Haynes, project into 120-year old versions of themselves, in a seriously funny work about hanging on, dying and grieving, played at 33rpm. In an age where death and the forgotten art of grieving have been medicalised out of exictance, Wood and Haynes fumble through daily rounds of coffee, call centres and cat food. Rants, dribles, pills and cough bombs litter an wmbling blend of symbolist mysticism and synaesthesia that has the fear od an ageing population in its sights and oozes with the positivity of elderhood and good deaths. The Director
A bold new performance starring charismatic ex-funeral director, Scott Turnbull, and artist Lara Thommas. together the pair demystify elements of the death industry, using humour aned first-hand knowledge to dig a little deeper on what happens after we go. |
