Gripping tension. Gasping suspense. Mind bending predicaments.
How stable is a cardboard box, if you’re climbing a stacked tower of twenty? Can packing tape hold your weight if you’re using it to hang upside down? And if it doesn’t, will balloons break your fall?
You won’t be able to look away. This is heart pumping, edge of your seat performance from solo performer Lee Wilson. This self made obstacle course transforms everyday materials into the infrastructure of his own peril. Cardboard boxes, rubber bands and packing tape = a DIY dream. No feat is too dangerous in this exhilarating work.
Get ready for the latest offering from Helpmann Award winning Australian company Branch Nebula (Snake Sessions, Concrete & Bone Sessions, Paradise City). High Performance Packing Tape creates enthralling possibilities for physical performance. Your biggest priority will be trying to catch your breath as the spectacle unfolds around you.
Set your heart racing as one fearless performer uses ordinary materials to create extraordinary scenarios.
High Performance Packing Tape was commissioned by Performance Space for Liveworks 2018
