Event description

Blushing

An IN THE RAW Season presented by Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre

Directed by Indiah Morris

A CHARGE OF CELLS. A RUSH OF HEAT. SKIN AGAINST SKIN.

Blushing is a loving exploration of physical intimacy, in all shapes and forms, dissecting the intricacies of human connection through touch. At a time when distance is the norm, and touch almost a radical act in a post-pandemic world, Blushing offers a journey through our bodies’ evolving relationship to touch as we grow and navigate the ever-increasing complexities of physical contact.

In bold colour and high-energy movement, Blushing reminds us of a world that celebrates skin on skin.

For over a decade Zen Zen Zo has finished each year with an IN THE RAW show as a ritual conclusion to the year that has been. Join us on Saturday 30 November at sunset to celebrate the end of 2024!

BLUSHING is part of Zen Zen Zo’s annual IN THE RAW Season, in which the company returns to its experimental roots to create new work in non-traditional theatre spaces. Past IN THE RAW shows (including Rebirth, The Tempest, Zeitgeist, Dracula, Sub-Con Warrior 1 & Those with Lucifer) have sold out, so early booking is advised.

ZEN ZEN ZO is a Brisbane-based physical theatre company at the forefront of contemporary performance and training in Australia. Founded by Lynne Bradley & Simon Woods in 1992, the company has continually produced innovative theatre experiences that have challenged and delighted the audiences. Zen Zen Zo has created over 50 new productions ranging from radical reinterpretations of the classics to innovative self-devised works, many of which have been showcased at national and international festivals.

Zen Zen Zo’s aesthetic was forged between the ancient Asian dance-theatre traditions, the European avant-garde theatre movement, and contemporary pop culture. This fusion of old and new gives Zen Zen Zo its unique appeal, and an audience base that spans several generations. Zen Zen Zo believes in a theatre of contact, in which the relationship between the actors and the audience is at once intimate and shocking, compelling and confrontational, ritualistic and profane.
