Overview of this event
By Joshua Di Mattina-Beven
Mentored by Harriett Gillies
Bring spare change, Expect splashback.
Water erupts from a tortoise's mouth, streams from a cherub's eyes or spurts from a milkmaid's breast. Saturated bodies depict bacchanal scenes of pleasure and pain.
Can the climax of this moment last forever?
What happens when everything bubbles over?
WaterWorks is a leaky, malfunctioning performance-sculpture. A rotating cast of 8 performers reconstruct the fountain as a site of collective action and anti-monument. Taking influence from Mierle Laderman Ukeles' Maintenance Manifesto, we ask: how can our bodies go on through heartbreak, crisis and exhaustion? In cycles of birth and rebirth, WaterWorks will perform continuously into the night.
Encounter at sundown and stay to make your wish come true.
