nihilistic optimism on trampolines

Presented by Theatreworks.

A wildly weird reimagining of the origin of Frankenstein, featuring a theatrically gruesome battle on trampolines to a soundtrack of existential dread and an entire swimming pool worth of sweat.

It’s an unbearably boring afternoon at Trampoline World. Thunder crashes overhead, some kid has thrown up in the bathroom, AND the roof is leaking... again.

Boredom quickly descended into cutthroat competition, and existential dread explodes into colourfully grotesque live rock music. There’s a bloody fight in a foam pit, and even gut-wrenching, stomach-churning, heart-shattering poetry can’t save love.

I was the co-composer and co-sound designer for the show with Sofia Jorgovic.
