New
Media and Performance
A bizarre
and apocalyptic performance presented by The Studio, Sydney Opera House.
PACT's major
work for 2005 was created by 19 young performance makers (19-26 years)
working closely with a team of professional artists. The work asked us
to consider this moment in time and the future of the planet, before it's
too late. It took its inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy and
human beings' voracious desire to consume and be consumed.
