Event Series: Beasts

Theatre Works: Beasts

8 May @ 7:30 am - 9:00 pm AEST

A group of dejected young men turn to the dark corners of the internet to restore their self-imposed “virtue”, striking a Faustian deal with the gruesome personification of masculinity: Alpha, to give them back the world they believe they are owed. But, in their quest for the perfect masculine ideal these fragile boys will contend with a gruesome transformation into something else entirely…

Robert Lewis’ wickedly intelligent writing comes to a climax in Beasts, tackling the complex topic of toxic masculinity and its roots in online discourse. Irreverent, experimental and freaky performances directed by emerging artist Callum Bodman bring a chaotic and archaic world to life in all its janky glory.

Laughing or sweating, shrieking or sighing, Beasts has a gift for all who witness its explosive, uncaring, and truly unique presentation. Striking imagery concocted by the brilliant Georgia Mason creates an uncanny and surreal world of decaying Masculine ideals – Picasso meets American Psycho.
