dyson industries :: the voyeur

The more urgently, the more desirously we sought to become intimate with the performers, to enter their private worlds or perhaps simply to make the disparate elements of the performance cohere, the more we were forced to acknowledge our own gaze mirrored in their presence, to find that it was the recalled intimacies in our own lives that we must confess, the raw nature of our own desires that really counted.

REVIEWS

MAIN

This work is approximately 50 minutes in length and there are some durational aspects within the work to allow for audience movement on the outside of the box. As such, there is no linear narrative that could be ‘missed’ if an audience member chooses to move to another position.

This work however, does have strong narratives: intimacy, revealing, desire, and personal experience. One audience member said it was the epic everyday of the work that allowed her to connect to the performers and back to her own life.

The audience capacity for each performance is 50 people and the performance will be repeated twice each evening.
