Phantom Femme Fatale + BERSERK (double feature)
Saturday 3 May
Join us for this double feature of Phantom Femme Fatale and BESERK — exclusive to Horizon 2025.
Phantom Femme Fatale
A haunting performance-art-dance piece built around a hard-edged, and vampiric subversive, character who transgresses female subjugation with assassin-like stoicism.
Choreographed and performed by Jenni Large, and defiantly exploiting physical prowess, this show pays homage to stigmatised displays of femininity – remixing movement, costume and sound in a confronting exposé of sex, horror and stigma.
Not to be dismissed as a sexist figure of male fantasy, this show straddles the entanglement of sex and power with jaw-clenching effort and sly innuendo.
BERSERK
BERSERK is a movement-based performance inviting audiences to witness human bodies being pushed to the edge of transformation, shapeshifting and traversing surreal terrains, and embodying the primal and the absurd.
Choreographed by Jag Popham, and brought to life by a dynamic ensemble, BERSERK delves deep into the mysterious forces that shape our shared mythology and somatic landscapes. With visceral movement, a pulsing soundscape, and ritualistic intensity, this is a celebration of the primordial forces that shape and consume us.
This Australian premiere, by KIN, drags performers and audiences through shared threshold experiences, where time warps, thoughts fray, and focus sharpens. As agitation builds, rupture tears through, and the outpouring drowns all in raw, unrelenting release.
BERSERK dives headfirst into trance states and mythopoetic storytelling, standing as a testament to our desire to engage in the mysterious.
