about

A riotous, queered-up version of one of the greatest Greek tragedies, Sophocles’ Antigone, comes crashing on the shores of St. Kilda and into Theatre Works.

Produced by Zeb Fontaine Theatre and written and directed by award-winning artist, Zachary Dunbar, this contemporary work is a tragic farce which pokes serious fun at contemporary issues and politics. In the Midsumma tradition of mayhem and spectacle, AntigoneX is a head-banging Aussie cocktail of gender, queer agendas, genetics, and political leadership.

With beach balls, budgy smugglers, and narration from a washed up Cabaret singer replicating that of Taylor Mac after a hurricane, this world premiere piece of theatre offers the perfect balance of queer culture and fun in the (fake) sun. Audiences can expect to see a Tony Abbott-like leader’s failed attempt to clone a ‘Chorus’ of superior young men from his DNA, and to force his feminist niece into creating the next generation of XYs – along with many more tales of fanfare throughout the show!

[Designer's note: I am incredibly grateful to my Associate Sound Designer, Marly Pierce, for her work on this show. In respect of her intellectual property, the content that Marly contributed is not included in this collection.]

Beyond The Realms Of Doom
by Fifth Era / ▲NGST

Bleak industrial weirdscapes, kickdrums dully hammering through steel plate, crushing apathy and terror all in the same mix. Fifth Era rules. Chris Wenn

The Drunk and the Endless
by Field of Spears

Exquisite neofolk gloom from this marvellous outfite from Portland, Maine. The Swans cover is worth the price of entry alone... Chris Wenn

Water Computing
by Cray

Ross Healy (particularly his Amnesia project) was a massive early influence on my work, and discovering he was still producing weird, scroobly sounds was a wonderful surprise... Chris Wenn
