Absurdist, Experimental

Stop Playing Jacob's Ladder With My Spine

'There are ants in your drawers. There is food in your microwave. There is blood on the food. There are ants in the blood. They are watching you eat. You have a nosebleed.' Blending absurdist theatre, contemporary dance and creative captioning, HotCat Collective present their new show about loss of control, expectations within domestic settings, and what it means to rot in the face of sterilisation. Four dancers and a microwave invite you to embrace chaos despite the prying eyes. Don't hide. Come and see the beautiful colours on your mouldy fork.
