Strung up and gutted; a rotting carcass of the paradise once known. The warning signs were all there, but we chose to ignore them. We turned the volume up to mute the cries. We turned a blind eye. Now it’s eternal darkness, where mistakes and memories linger.
Enter the world of de-generator. Part installation, part dance. You share this world with our storytellers, who find themselves alone, destitute and desperate to find meaning in their own post-apocalyptic nightmares. Hunting through their personal histories and stories, they battle to find solace in a world stripped of everything they had once appreciated, loved and desired.
De-generator asks audiences to activate their fear – of the future, the unknown, the end – and consider their accountability to the disintegration.
Choreographed by Nerida Matthaei and performed by Phluxus2 Dance Collective artists Alexander Baden Bryce and Amelia Stokes.
