“Lobsters: An incredibly innovative and original piece of performance art” – Ewen Coleman, Dominion Post

$25 – $35

Inspired by the images and manifestos of The Surrealists, Lobsters seduces us into a world of humour, eccentricity, sensuality and the surreal. This is a place where we are expert at both disguising and exposing our most secret of selves. In Lobsters, the performers seek out deep human connection and inner truth, but instead experience a series of misses, near-misses, collapses, and implosions.

Choreographer Lucy Marinkovich, recently returning from practising in Germany, Spain, France, Croatia and Singapore, combines talents with Athens-Wellington-NYC based theatre maker Miranda Manasiadis, to bring you the athletic and visually compelling Lobsters.

“Lobsters is the new metamorphoses of Borderline Arts Ensemble ‘s earlier The Surrealists… intense, physical, compelling; this will make you think – about yourself- and your friends.” – Deirdre Tarrant

“Marinkovich and Miranda Manasiadis are the co-directors making bold inroads here into the advancement of their creative ambitions. With Lobsters they are making their splash!” – Chris Jannides
