THE AUSTRALIAN, JULY 2010
Our world is saturated with news. Unceasing torrents of information transport us from battlefields and crime scenes in one moment, to celebrity homes and our own backyards the next. But how does the medias unending flow of words and images shape us?
Through an explosive combination of imagery, gesture and sound, Human Interest Story explores our shared consumption of media news, one that punctuates our domestic spaces and challenges our sympathies for those in distant places. With stunning inventiveness, Lucy Guerin confronts the personal impact of those global crises delivered daily to our doorsteps. In Guerins hands the distortions of time and distance evoked by the news transform into a dynamic, physical investigation of our comprehension of the modern world. Just like her tour de force, Structure and Sadness, Lucy Guerins almost surreal creations reveal to us what cannot yet be said.
Created with an outstanding ensemble of dancers and collaborators, including a design by Gideon Obarzanek (Mortal Engine) and lighting by Paul Jackson (The Threepenny Opera) and a very special newscast by Anton Enus (World News Australia - SBS), Human Interest Story has been commissioned by Malthouse Theatre and Perth International Arts Festival.
