Theatre: Thrashing Without Looking

Created and performed by Elizabeth Dunn, Lara Thoms, Martyn Coutts, Tristan Meecham and Wiloh S. Weiland
Sound Design by Alan Nguyen
PICA
Until August 25

When the boundaries between performing artists and their audience come down, the mix can be unpredictable and a little intimidating.
The assumed contract – you perform, I observe and applaud (or otherwise) – is broken when you are in close contact, and even one-on-one, with the performer. What is my contribution to all this meant to be? Who will now give their approval? Am I to judge myself?
Eek!
