YouthVSPhysics: New Wave Festival 2010 and Restaged Histories Project at the Powerhouse
Details from Powerhouse Website
THE RESTAGED HISTORIES PROJECT (AUS)
GUEST COLLABORATORS MARCEL DORNEY AND STEVE TOULMIN
Icarus, Superman and the Soviet cosmonaut Omon Ra … the Restaged Histories project explores these three young men and their thwarted attempts to fly.
This large-scale yet intimate work involves three performers, live video and 1970s bluescreen, to perform a series of “experiments” that attempt to disprove heroism.
YOUTHvsPHYSICS examines these three “test subjects” who form a triptych of young men whose attempts to fly have all been affected by science or age and examines each character’s position, in a world uneasy with the term ‘hero’, in a funny, moving and thought-provoking way.
Part-science class, part-stunt show and part-rock concert YOUTHvsPHYSICS comes direct from a premiere season at Next Wave Festival, Melbourne.
“Dorward and Swann are a new generation of fabulous liars in a mundane world” Real Time
