The Dawn, An Enemy, or the Coming of a God

Godzilla rises from the ocean. Arnie fights the Predator. “Get away from her, you b*tch!!”

The Dawn, an Enemy, or the Coming of a God is a new work of live theatre that rewrites queer theory across the disaster and monster movies we can’t help but love; packaged and sold to us by imperial powers that use our dollars to make those monsters horribly and banally real. The Dawn, an Enemy, or the Coming of a God is a new work of devised postdrama, made from a pastiche of pop cultural disaster movies. Utilising live feed and practical camera effects to work with scale from the micro to the macro, Briannah Davis, Joe Paradise Lui and Andrew Sutherland create and perform a live kaiju/monster film about what we do with the cultural detritus of empire that takes up so much space in our hearts and our minds. We ask whether the horizon we have always yearned for is now behind us; illuminated by the bombs our taxes help to pay for.

Created and performed by Briannah Davis, Joe Paradise Lui, Andrew Sutherland

Salome δ is layered, profoundly so, and it captures the abject and viral with astounding reverence.
Out in Perth
A poem that is both universal and deeply personal, Salome δ is a wild ride; an intense and compelling meditation on chronic illness in the midst of a viral pandemic.
