BÉTON BRUTE BY RACHAEL CLERKE
<< 28 NOV – 7:30pm – The Cube >>
Somewhere in a great European megacity, somewhere on the cusp of a new era, a middle-aged architect hosts the last ever episode of life-as-we-know-it. And let’s face it: when it comes down to it, it’s just portland cement, water, aggregate, air and the proletariat VS The Man.
A satirical drag eulogy for a world past its use-by-date.
Hosted by washed up default man/proto-god figure Archibald Tactful, and accompanied by anti-virtuoso drag king punk house band The Great White Males – Béton Brute is a gratuitously sleazy and joyfully noisy critique of alpha-masculinity and the built environment.
Audience feedback:
‘Eric Pickles meets Pussy Riot. Phenomenal polemic against penis-propelled planning.’
‘excellent…more performance like this please – louder louder louder’
‘like a concrete kiss’
