Malthouse Theatre Reveal 2014 Helium Program

The upcoming season is made up of five works that span cultures, divide performance genres and investigate social issues.

From the cross-cultural explorations of SEETHrough, a performance about masculinity and race, to Intimacy‘s exquisite exploration of dance and disability, through which issues including gender, health, and self-acceptance are brought to the fore.

On the flipside, Applespiel’s hilarious multimedia discourse on the perils of becoming a real live rock band is a mockumentary-style homage to making art and (trying) to make music in Applespiel Make a Band and Take On the Recording Industry, and The Last Tuesday Society’s willingness to get up to their elbows in it and explore the ‘toilet wall’ of the internet in The YouTube Comment Orchestra.

Helium 2014 concludes with META, a nightmare inspired by Franz Katfka’s classic story Metamorphosis, which reinterprets that tragic story of boy-made-bug in a way that only Samara Hersch and her creative crew The Second Cousin can.
