HACK | GayBird x Ata Wong | Show Introduction

Media artist GayBird + Theatre director Ata Wong = HACK

Machines are reconstituted to embrace perpetual motion; cold machines and warm bodies constantly reshape and regroup

Sounds spill from every corner, creating an evocative sonic mosaic, engendering a strong sense of motion

This is an absurd yet surrealist theatrical creation

A flawless process Endlessly mismatched results

The warmth and emotions of machines

The normal details of everyday life as they deconstruct and reconstruct

The body is shaped, controlled, modified, even wilfully replicated

Machines breathe, performers’ chests heave, music is generated by formulas

Have you ever encountered a machine that touches your heart?

Have you ever encountered a performance that can sustain your excitement?

Have you ever listened to an enduring musical work?

The warm arms of the machine extend and embrace

Part of our musculature, they are our companions

We feel together, we exist together

We support each other in creating every touching moment
