Being Dead (Don Quixote)
KERITH MANDERSON-GALVIN
January, 2018
KingsXTheatre, Sydney
A dangerous quest of literary theft, build-your-own identity and post-anarchy. Being Dead (Don Quixote) steals from Cervantes, Barbie™ and instant porn. Don Quixote is the idol you deserve.
Kerith Manderson-Galvin’s sensational and ever evolving signature work has alienated and captivated audiences and now debuts in Sydney for Mardi Gras. Infamous Queer Femme Kerith Manderson-Galvin (AKA Unofficial Kerith Fan Club) rips off the original rip-off artist Kathy Acker et al. in this ongoing project purposefully rewritten to Manderson-Galvin’s own shifting identity.

Kings Cross has been the cross-roads of the Emerald City for hundreds of years. A crossroads is a place where the boundaries between worlds are thin, where journeys intersect and possibilities diverge. It is a threshold or a gateway to another world.
Part hybrid immersive experience over 5 floors of the Kings Cross Hotel, part CIA-funded experiment in mind-control, KX \ ULTRA explores what it means to stand at the crossroads and make a choice. Wait at the crossroads when the time is right and the traveller might meet … anyone. Step through the gateway and the traveller might find themselves … anywhere.
Created by the team behind the sold-out VIVID 2016 smash Visiting Hours, and working with the Kings Cross Hotel, KX \ ULTRA fuses technology, imagination and dark magic to create a thrillingly unique and delightfully trippy experience.

MKA return with Chapel Street’s PROVOCARE for the sophomore year of this scintillating new festival.
A Public Reading of An Unproduced Screenplay about The Death of Walt Disney is an adrenaline-charged odyssey, a supersonic portrait of the man who forever changed the American Dream, and it’s an unforgettable fantasia. New York writer Lucas Hnath’s hit play premieres in Australia care of MKA Theatre and Provocare Festival. Aided by a pack of cigarettes, a litre of vodka, three actors, and countless dead lemmings Walt Disney reads you a screenplay he wrote. About himself. And his death.
