IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!!
Embrace the ugliness and chaotic beauty of how we make and unmake our identities in a visceral, vulgar and vampy ‘cabaret’ from Samir Kennedy and Sean Murray.
Prepare yourselves for renditions of the long lost ‘numbers’ that lurk in the depths of our minds. IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!! is a whirlwind performance bearing witness to the artists’ fascination with the filthy and the glamorous, the pathetic and the perverse.
References to familiar double acts abound alongside double entendres as Samir Kennedy and Sean Murray unearth the only real, concrete thing there is in this business: instability.
An infinite, infernal foreplay of a ‘cabaret’, IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!! exposes the precarity of constructing both performance and the self. Using the basic tools of theatre and DIY performance – microphones, speakers, lights and sets – the duo question whether the way we produce our identities is all that different from how we put on a show.
It’s vulgar, visceral and vampy – an embracing of the messiness of becoming and unbecoming. IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!! traces the intricate dances of repression, subversion and seduction that we’re all forced into as performers, artists and humans, just trying to get on with it.
