roadkill

Presented by Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts & Mobile States

25 March - 29 March 2009

Choreographed by Splintergroup
Produced by Brisbane Powerhouse and Dancenorth

A couple are stranded in the middle of nowhere with a car that won't start next to a phone box that doesn't work.

This is a road trip into the agoraphobia and desolation of the Australian outback: a place of dreams and dust and ghosts. A land where backpackers disappear and tragedy strikes the vulnerable.

roadkill is stunning, edge of your seat dance theatre: highly physical, and ultimately intensely unnerving.

Don't miss this rare national tour for Splintergroup, last seen in Perth in the extraordinary lawn (2006 Perth Festival)

Fuelled by a collective creativity and inventive stagecraft, it is dark, primitive and very exciting.
