COLLAPSIBLE is a funny and furious new work about navigating a world that cares so much about you keeping it together, it doesn't notice you falling apart. This coming-of-age comedy-drama explores identity, anxiety and what it means to be ‘real’. Coated in comedy and complete with Buzzfeed quizzes, COLLAPSIBLE is a contemporary nosedive into the phenomenon of disassociation. It’s a work for anyone who has ever tried to write a truthful cover letter.
This award winning script by Margaret Perry (New Writing Award, Dublin) stars iconic Sydney actor and model, Janet Anderson (Overflow). This 60 minute solo show is an Australian Premiere that sits at the intersection of Live Art and Contemporary Performance.
