EUGENE

26 October - 2 November 2022 | Space Theatre, NIDA

 

Co-Produced by Force Majeure and NIDA

An IT worker, a killer whale and Arnold Schwarzenegger walk into a chat room…

IT worker Luke encounters a glitch he can't explain. It gives him this feeling – like when the kid touches E.T.’s finger – what’s that feeling called? The glitch opens up Luke’s world into Reddit threads and wormholes, and drives him into an impossible transformation. 

Through live performance, video installation and sound, Eugene explores the power of expressing who you are – be it online, AFK, or in those inexplicable moments like when that word is on the tip of your tongue – and then that rush when you finally find what that feeling really is. 

This co-production with NIDA is co-created and performed by Eliza Scott, an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, drag, sound and film, and co-created and directed by Force Majeure Artistic Director Danielle Micich.
