"The performers are trans-gendered in their white nakedness.  They are living embodiments of unconscious and supra-personal impulses; terror, anguish, sex, childlike fun and playfulness. Sometimes the ensemble suggests apocalyptic horror, writhing beneath the slow-motion impact of some unimaginable catastrophe. Now they are sweetly clownish, innocently prancing with self-delight.  This show will entrance newcomers to this disciplined yet tonally flexible intercultural performance form and leave them wanting more." 

THE AUSTRALIAN, 1996.

Unleashed debuted in 1996, and went on to have return seasons in Brisbane and at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2000.  Taping into the surreal world of the audience's dreams, desires, and nightmares, this work explored the underbelly of what it means to be human.  Utilising the Butoh dance-theatre style as its starting point, Unleashed experimented with a cathartic mix of stylised movement, poetic ritual, eroticism, horror, burlesque, camp and comedy.
