With every project we risk things blowing up in our faces. For Branch
Nebula, that’s just the beginning. High Performance Packing Tape is
the OH&S nightmare that transforms everyday office consumables into
the infrastructure of one person’s physical ruin. Performer Lee
Wilson scales collapsing cardboard-box towers, hangs precariously from
sticky-tape bridges unable to carry his weight and asks more of cheap
materials than they’re ever able to give. In this astounding show,
cutting edge contemporary performance company Branch Nebula entrusts
the future use of Lee’s neck to the dubious weight-bearing
properties of the stationery cupboard and recycling bin. You’ll
watch through parted fingers, thrill to his successes, wince at his
failures and try hard to contain your uproarious laughter.
Collaborating artists Mirabelle Wouters, Mickie Quick, and Phil
Downing along with Wilson have forged a performance that dares to ask
“Is a life without danger worth living?” It’s messy, terrifying,
deeply challenging to accepted notions of comfort and safety, and
incredible fun. Bring plenty of teenagers but don’t let them near
Officeworks afterwards.
