This Kind of Ruckus
Sydney Premiere

A new performance work about gender, power, control and violence

This kind of ruckus explores the forming and wrecking of relationships, patterns of control, and cycles of abuse. Confronting, unsettling and powerful theatre from version 1.0, the acclaimed makers of Deeply offensive and utterly untrue.

Following on from a month-long residency at Performance Space in April/May 2008, This kind of ruckus relocates version 1.0’s performance practice from the domain of parliamentary politics into the realm of the interpersonal, exploring power and control in both social behaviour and cultural institutions. Drawing upon recent high-profile assault scandals, accounts of relationship violence, and the subtle violences implicit within most relationships, in This kind of ruckus version 1.0 have created confronting, unsettling and powerful theatre.
