‘In an epic feat of endurance, Nat Randall performs a single scene inspired by John Cassavetes’ 1977 film Opening Night, on repeat for 24 continuous hours. Starring opposite Randall are 100 different men who range in age, background and acting ability. Each scene is captured on camera and projected live alongside the staged performance. Through the repetition of this intimate encounter, The Second Woman explores the complex interplay between identity, performance, gender, emotion, cinema and reality.

Premiering at Melbourne’s Next Wave Festival last year, The Second Woman was named as one of Guardian Australia’s “10 most groundbreaking shows by women” in 2016. This enthralling performance and cinematic experience—coming to Sydney for the first time—is not to be missed.’ – http://performancespace.com.au/events/liveworks-2017-the-second-woman/

Tom will be participating in the event around 2.30am, Saturday. Seriously Sydney, don’t miss this.

Business Unfinished @ Adelaide Feast Festival

07/09/2017 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: Tom Christophersen | In: Theatre

Tom Christophersen’s latest work is queer theatre like you’ve never seen before. The Sydney Mardi Gras headliner interweaves pre-recorded, verbatim audio interviews with Australians who have experienced paranormal phenomena in their homes, with live theatre and installation.

Visually captivating, this performance creates a portal where audiences witness the appearance of unexplained supernatural forces and autobiographical, lip-sync disco.

An artistic investigation into how we might use art to reconcile our occasionally haunted pasts.

November 14th – 18th, 7pm
At BASEM3NT
Tickets $28/$23

5 GUYS CHILLIN’

BY PETER DARNEY

Based on interviews with guys found on hook-up apps, this graphic, gripping, funny and frank play exposes the drug-fuelled, hedonistic, highly secret world of the gay chemsex chill-out scene. Following the successful staged reading at New Theatre during Mardi Gras 2017, we’re excited to be mounting a full production of this controversial play.
