Two siblings, and an unrelated audience stand in a gallery. The Eternity… is a black mass, a misremembering, and a disappearance act. A ritual, a meditation, and a metaphysical operation.

A Death Sentence

Kings Cross Theatre, Sydney
MKA + Doppelgangster present a non-stop, eight-hour pre-execution final statement. A durational performance featuring Tobias Manderson-Galvin, Grace Lauer, Dr Tom Payne, Ruby Donohoe, Kerith Manderson-Galvin, and guests.
It’s one hundred years to the day since Mata Hari’s execution by firing squad. 63 years since ‘The Desert Fox’ chose cyanide over a public treason trial. Two years since Licho Escamilla was murdered by the state of Texas. It’s about 8 months since an ex-lover sent me a message saying never to text again or the police would be called. 11 years since I was fired from my first job for calling ‘A Current Affair’. It’s almost the last day we have left…

April, 2017
Lûmé, Melbourne
Technology is advancing at a savage velocity ― but how will that affect the future of food? To help answer that question, we invited the completely fictional Professor Hans Edelmen from the equally fantastic Prague Institute of Culinary Technology ― and several members of his wholly unbelievable research team ― to work alongside Lûmé’s kitchen creatives in a one-off, multisensory dining event as part of Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in April.

Imagine you could experience every corner of our culinary landscape all in one night? We don’t just mean eating food from that local area – we mean feeling, seeing, touching and hearing it too.
