Almost The Same (feral rehearsals for violent acts of culture)

created & performed by Julia Bardsley, music & live sound mix by Andrew Poppy.
A figure lurks in a dark place of collapse, a theatre of dirt, an ark of humiliation. Beneath the pelt it growls, licks, pants, bites back….
Testing the dynamic between instinct & intellect, the wild & the domesticated, nature & culture, and framed by a sonic landscape, the piece examines notions of fear, matriarchal violence & the beast.
