Interior
**** Interior is another solid offering from one of Australia’s most respected contemporary performance ensembles – a production that evokes a deep sense of personal reflection and leaves its audience filled with a gorgeous warmth. – Artshub
Presented at The Substation.
A dark night. Through an open window you spy a house party. A house party going terribly, awkwardly wrong.
Interior takes you into our struggles to connect with the people around us; our ecstatic, desperate attempts. A collision of text, movement and design, Interior is a visual and aural unravelling, a unique spectacular about the parts of us that we can’t see.
Inspired by the world of James Joyce’s infamous short story ‘The Dead’, Interior explores choreographies of the internal and external, revealing and concealing, authentic and pretend with the award-winning Rawcus Ensemble.
Provocative, poetic, and absurd, Interior is an anarchic gathering where the only thing the party guests are afraid of is being left alone together.
Created by Rawcus.
Devised and Performed by the Rawcus Ensemble: Clem Baade, Swann Biguet, Michael Buxton, Rachel Edward, Nilgun Guven, Jorlene Lim, Joshua Lynzaat, Paul Matley, Mike McEvoy, Isha Menon, Ryan New, Heath O’Loughlin, Kerryn Poke, and Louise Riisik
