THIS IS NOW is a double bill from Excessive Human Collective's Artistic Director Imogen Reeve navigating technology, gender and the apocalypse.

DISCOPIA a mesmerising dance theatre production, masterfully intertwining ecological unraveling and the ascent of AI. Witness the delicate dance between hope and despair, as the threads of the past unravel, inviting us to ponder the potential of a transformed future.
Teetering on the edge of the uncanny and steeped in surrealism, the audience is pulled into a hallucinatory tapestry of the past, present and future. Equal parts beautiful, humorous and horrifying, Excessive Human Collective joins the collaborative forces of renowned chamber group Larisa Trio, and rising composer Devon Bonelli to bring you this unforgettable sensory experience.

We Are The World
“The cyborg would not recognise the garden of Eden, it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust." - Donna Haraway
Three performers wander an infinite landscape, their bodies merging with machine, as they grapple with visions of hyper-femininity. With the cyborg as a metaphor for fragmented identities, We Are The World looks at the space between fiction and fact, and what it means to be a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fantasy. Hyperfemme cyborgs, the merging of body and machine and a post apocalyptic landscape, what more could you want?!
