About this Event
A shape-shifting 75min performance on the edge of experimental theatre and performance art.
An intimate experience by performance maker Kerith Manderson-Galvin: spawned from body-horror films, a bodiless cover of Playboy Magazine, and Manderson-Galvin’s identity in flux – Perpetual Horror follows an uncontainable queer body through desire, disgust, disturbance, and oblivion.
An unsettling exploration of Queer Femme corporeality on the edge of horror and the sublime.
Disrupt the borders of flesh, time and perception - with Kerith Manderson-Galvin as your guide through a cycle of monstrous femininity: on a replica ghost chair; dressed in Everlast flip-flops; with a bloody mouth; in a G-string that reads “Maneater”.
A softcore, leaky, hallucinatory journey away from conventional performance and femininity.
