THIS IS HOW WE DIE-2

THIS IS HOW WE DIE

Vertigo - Studio

THIS IS HOW WE DIE is the critically acclaimed debut solo show from Christopher Brett Bailey - virtuosic and visceral spoken word performance. A motor-mouthed collage of spoken word and storytelling. Tales of paranoia, young love and ultra-violence. From the desk of Christopher Brett Bailey comes a spiralling odyssey of pitch-black humour and nightmarish prose.
With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies, THIS IS HOW WE DIE is a prime slice of surrealist trash, an Americana death trip and a dizzying exorcism for a world convinced it is dying...

This is the first instalment of the Christopher Brett Bailey Sleepwalk Collective's triptych productions at the High Performance Rodeo.

Amusements-2

Amusements

Vertigo - Studio

Like some backroom carnival ride / lo-fi sci-fi pleasure machine. Amusements is an intensely sensorial one-woman headphone-theatre spectacular that asks what exactly we might want from our entertainment, and what it might want from us. With the audience plugged wirelessly into its beating heart, the performance is a hypnotic dance towards the limits of pleasure, which grapples sleepily with the dizzying highs and terrifying boredoms of the early 21st century.

This is the second instalment of the Christopher Brett Bailey Sleepwalk Collective's triptych productions at the High Performance Rodeo.

PSYCHODRAMA-2

PSYCHODRAMA

Vertigo - Studio

Racing across the savage inner-landscape of the human mind, two unlikely (anti)heroes pursue a nightmare vision of freedom through spiraling episodes of intense sensuality and phantasmagoric violence. PSYCHODRAMA is a gooey, drippy dream of a show, a pop-cultural exorcism, a runaway train riding a burnt synapse through the centre of your skull. A celebration of the corrosive power of storytelling that asks who are all those voices inside your head? And how did they get there? And if you could silence those voices, would you?

This is the third instalment of the Christopher Brett Bailey Sleepwalk Collective's triptych productions at the High Performance Rodeo.
