Binge Culture

The collective gathers from the Wellington community a range of personal accounts of joy. In this space, they will collaborate with the public to perform playful reenactments of these accounts. The space will be full of an eclectic range of versatile props and equipment such as a music player, a bicycle, a bath full of water, a wind machine, a huge red fur coat. Performers will work one-on-one with visitors to uncover and understand their intimate experiences. They will then facilitate active participation from the public in recreating these moments of joy in a ‘open air laboratory’ setting. These re-creations may spill out into the surrounding arcade and city as needed. In this accessible and non- threatening ‘play-space’ will encourage the public to unleash their innate sense of play and celebration. Spectators will be active participants and the roles of performer and spectator will be constantly reinvented.
