Angel Monster is raw, visceral, confessional, 5-star performance from one of Queensland’s most prolific dance-theatre artists, Phluxus2 Dance Collective, choreographed by the award-winning Nerida Matthaei.
Combining contemporary dance and spoken word, this spine-tingling production delves into the depths of womanhood, shattering boundaries and inviting audiences on an electrifying journey.
After two years of ‘best of the fest’ at Edinburgh Fringe, Australian audiences have their turn to see this unmissable performance.
Enter a space caught in a cross-hairs: halfway between your bedroom-floor at 3am and an otherworldly celestial limbo. Here, inside a field of laundry, explosive choreography ignites and combusts beside you as an army of dancers explore the dreams and the nightmares, the tremble, and the limits of the female experience.
