*Season afterparty with BIG GAY IDIOT DJ on Friday, October 28 at 9pm.
With C O M P R E S S I O N, Niall Jones continues a practice of dis/assembling the theatrical space. Trained as a dancer, the artist builds his work through scores that rely on circumventing mechanisms of language. Through this process, his work undermines what we take for granted about the theatre, its fixed architecture and temporality, and the relationship between bodies and materials within it.
Livestreaming and live captioning will be available to ticket holders on Friday, Oct 28 at 7:30pm.
Audio Description will be available via Assisted Listening System (ALS) headsets for the duration of the installation.
