Professor Helen Heels presents a Lecture/Demonstration in three parts with a variety of Extraordinary Artefacts.
Join Professor Helen Heels (Declan Patrick) and Manly Stud Mr Cliff Edge (Karen Barbour) for a lecture/demonstration that goes horribly wrong. The aesthetics of failure are explored through drag, terrible jokes and several dodgy moustaches.
In academia, failure abounds. This performance starts to interrogate the failures we all have as academics, starting with the impossibility of representation, and going on to explore identity, and the ways in which we perform our identities.
The performance works with tropes of theatre, comedy, drag, and music. Written and performed by Declan Patrick, it features collaborations with Karen Barbour, Serok Park, Isabelle Delmotte and Alec Forbes.
