About the work

Held at Adelaide Contemporary Experimental on Saturday 15 July 2023.

'Rockamora' is the newest member of local multi-arts performance collective, The Bait Fridge, and eclectic global-funk-jazz six-piece band, Slowmango!

If you've ever dreamed of witnessing a giant animatronic bully come alive as a musician within a chaotic landscape of improvisational absurdist performance, this is your moment.

For one night only, ACE’s gallery transformed into a somewhat-music-venue-somewhat-gallery-somewhat-live-studio, in which a cacophony of raw action, colour, costume and community occurred. This could otherwise be describable as a 'multi-disciplinary performance experience', but that sounds a bit dull, doesn't it?

William Maggs performed an Auslan translation.
