Curated in collaboration with the Sydney festival and production platform SOFT CENTRE, “STACK” is a live film experiment by Harrison Hall, Eek, Sam Mcgilp and Alexander Powers that reinterprets sci-fi horror through posthumanism, biocapitalism and ecological themes. Oscillating between minimalist directness and media overload, “STACK” criticizes unequal power dynamics and the dematerialization of human concerns. The performance combines cultural commentary with speculative horror.
Emme's debut project “Heaven Help Me” is a 30-minute solo opera that reflects the struggle for survival after an abusive relationship. With a mixture of screaming vocals, dystopian sound spaces and elements of emo, noise and hardcore, Emme creates a haunting and hypnotic presence.
Drawing on her punk and rave roots, the work combines chaos and control. Equally beautiful and brutal, the piece is the first chapter in a trilogy that combines raw, emotional storytelling with avant-garde performance.
