DARK!DARK!DARK! is a living beastiary entangled within an epoch; a bodied ‘va’ or ‘vata’ between the collapse of one world and the birth of another.  DARK!DARK!DARK! serves as a gathering point of the subterranean ancestral ecologies that thrive in the descent, mirroring our own interior depths. Honouring the mutations of living forms that have named themselves in the epoch, DARK!DARK!DARK! looks at how we can remake and remember ourselves amidst ecological terror.

Sharing multiple worlds within a work, DARK!DARK!DARK! dreams and remembers into known and speculative Tagata Moana lineages of darkness, story-telling and the pantheon of forms that inhabit them. Pushing the boundaries of their physicality, two performers shed their skin and become the unbecoming; using genre-bending dance, character performance, harsh vocalisation, sound distortion and larger than life design elements as catalysts.

The first full-length directorial and performance debut of CONJAH and collaborators, DARK!DARK!DARK! invites you to submerge and turn your sight towards some of our oldest Oceanic subterranean ancestors;
the unnameable, the mutated, the beyond-body, the weird, the hybrid, the reborn,
the buried, the unmade, the decaying, the endless - the DARK.
