| Act Natural (staged reading) | |||
A Play by Miso BellDeveloped through Fruit Box Theatre’s RIPE Development Program and presented during Sydney WorldPride in association with bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company. A crew of amateur documentary filmmakers convince a timid recluse, Sam, to let them film him for a “quick” university project. Seven years later they are still filming. The constant gaze of the camera corrodes Sam into a dark, desperate imitation of the crew's ideal subject. Until he is no longer controllable, no longer just a subject but a force of subjugation. He is abandoned. Alone for the first time in years. With no camera, no director and no audience, Sam is left to wade through the waters of person and persona. Feeling himself sink, he turns to the footage of the last seven years. Act Natural is a queer ontological thriller that explores the performativity of gender and sexuality - can you truly decipher the line between a performed self and a true self? Join us for a staged reading of Act Natural – the first public showing of this new play and a taster of what’s to come.
