MELBOURNE, 2024
The Midnight Horrors X The Peter Pans (Barrie, Disney, Mary Martin’s made-for-TV movie, et al).
A DIY bedtime thriller. A pirated reproduction of Peter Pan/s (1904-2023). A lawless inventory of regression. Using pulleys, wire, Happy Thoughts™, and wrapped in gold foil emergency blankets the performers repurpose scenes, chapters, and a memory of an island that doesn’t exist.
TO DIE… is a unique collaboration between The Midnight Horrors with: cult performers, an animator, an academic, fashion designers (inc. the Winner of Victorian Premier’s Design Award for Fashion 2022), writers, musicians, climate activists, outlaws, outcasts, unrecognised geniuses, and bullshit artists.
