Kate McIntosh
DARK MATTER
- Performance Performance in English
Let me just say this – tonight is a night of stripping, tonight is a night of peeling away, layer by layer by layer by layer – What will be left? What will we know at the end of it all? Much less! That’s what! Let’s begin...
The newest performance by Kate McIntosh, whose CONNECTIONS mentor is Tim Etchells, is moderated by a female figure standing in the spotlight wearing a sparkling dress and a long, grey beard. With the help of two assistants, some small strange dances, and a few materials, ›Dark Matter‹ highlights philosophical questions in a show-biz/late-night theatre style: time and gravity, being and not being, thought and the body.
