An immersive, interactive experience; part installation, part performance, part banging dance party.
Hot & Heavy is an aural, visual and sensory experience that invites you to lose yourself, go deep and shake free. Explore this queer new world where domesticity has been made strange, appliances are defamiliarised and the casual horrors of human production lines and capitalist consumption are vividly transformed. In a landscape of real world glitches, the lines between performer and audience blur and break, bodies move en masse and the unifying power of a dance floor infects the crowd. Hot & Heavy is the yearning for multiple new futures within the banging beat of a broken down washing machine.
This event is an Auslan Interpreted Performance.
That was Brilliant! A thought provoking, at times heart wrenchingly so, innovative, clever, enjoyable installation and production.
Audience Member Cheryl
That was Fun! Didn't know that I would be badly 'dancing' and protesting against capitalism and the horror of our zombie consumerism society - good to see a cross-generational wake up call!
Audience Member Merryn
Thought provoking, wildly entertaining and interactive! So much fun!”
