THEA152 presents Voyager X: Baby Forest Animal Emporium
Allen Hall | 1pm, Thursday 11 and Friday 12 October | Tickets $3 students, $5 public.
Voyager is a project that found its roots in the Theatre Studies department five years ago, as a new and innovative way for students to showcase their newly acquired skills in THEA152 – Theatre Technology. Using lights, sounds, costumes, and set, the class works together to find a way to keep tradition standing.
This year’s class knew they were on to a winner when they sat down and brainstormed ideas for their performance. After approximately two seconds of thought, someone blurted out those four words: Baby Forest Animal Emporium. It was fate. Everyone was instantly on board, there was no Plan B, this shit was happening. Thus, they set about creating the best damn Voyager the world has ever known – or so they say.
Suffice to say, you can expect a lot more from Voyager X than the name suggests. While everyone loves a good fuzzy duckling exhibition, the class had other ideas. More ideas were added and things got more and more out of hand, so ridiculous that before you could say squirrel, they had themselves a shocking twist. What is that twist, you ask? Come see for yourself…
That’s right, folks. Give the slightly psycho kids of THEA152 a chance and they’re going to do something utterly outrageous. Classic Theatre students. The tenth in the Voyager series promises to be a mind-blowing, unreal assault on the senses; a lavish and ridiculously over-the-top yet incredibly shocking example of what a bit of enthusiasm and a hideous scheme to lure innocent victims in by the promise of an Animal Emporium can do. Prepare to be amazed, shocked, and terrified. Expect the completely unexpected. Do not trust anyone.
The evil geniuses behind the whole operation have done a marvellous job of keeping the true agenda of the Emporium under close wraps, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been rats among them. The corseted freaks lurking around campus might have something to do with it, maybe have a word next time you spot one. Then decide if you’re brave enough to come along. By chance, if you do decide to put on your big boy boots and rock up to Allen Hall sporting your best “come at me bro” attitude, shit goes down on Thursday 11 of October at 1pm. For the ultra brave, it happens all over again on Friday 12 of October.
Something wicked this way comes…
