A CHARGE OF CELLS. A RUSH OF HEAT. SKIN AGAINST SKIN.
Raw, bold, and electric - this visceral physical theatre work from internationally-acclaimed Zen Zen Zo, dives under the surface to explore touch in its messy, beautiful forms. You're invited into the microscopic world of Cells writhing beneath your skin. Bodies pulse, lips collide, and intimacy is dissected in high-energy movement, colour, and sound.
In a world afraid of closeness, 'Blushing' examines our internal dance between shame and curiosity. 8 fierce Meanjin performers take us to a place that celebrates skin on skin. Visceral, vibrant, and unashamedly human.
"The full cast were flawless in their cacophony"
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS IN BRISBANE
"A demonstration of the power of Zen Zen Zo’s physical theatre tradition"
