Drowning Bird, Plummeting Fish

At the Dunedin Fringe Festival, experimental theatre group, Binge Culture, are trapped at a party where the beer is warm, the music is shit and the world is ending.

What does it mean to be part of a generation that is constantly being told it has no future? Fresh from a floodlit midnight performance atop Takaka Hill, at Canaan Downs New Year Festival, Binge Culture Collective, winner of Best Newcomer award at Wellington Fringe Festival, captures the atmosphere of thousands of wild party goers in this devised work.

Drowning Bird, Plummeting Fish looks at the effect of the violent collision between our ever-consuming society and the rising problems of planet earth; climate change, overpopulation and peak oil. It explores how we as individuals deal with the hysteria, and endless conflicting voices warning us of what may be around the corner.

“An engaging, compelling, provoking and confronting challenge” -John Smythe, Theatreview

"...Binge Culture is spontaneous and brazen, and seems intent on pushing the audience to reach insight through visceral feeling and emotion, not cerebral analysis." -Melody Nixon, Lumiere Reader
