phluxus2 dance collective, cluster arts and theatre works presents
Angel Monster
14 - 24 FEBRUARY | THEATRE WORKS
Angel Monster
VENUE
Enter a space caught in a cross-hairs: halfway between your bedroom-floor at 3am and an otherworldly limbo. Here, inside a field of laundry, explosive choreography combusts as an army of dancers explore the dreams, the nightmares, the tremble and the limits of the female experience.
Sex, consent, violence and empowerment crash-tackle together in a full-femme-full-bodied conversation where the agenda is Equality, Ownership and Individuality.
Straight from a smash hit season at Edinburgh Fringe, this is raw, visceral confessional powerful dance from one of Queenslands’s most prolific award-winning dance-theatre artists. Angel Monster is a portrait, a requiem and a call to arms for angels and monsters alike.
