poet #7

With one story uniting four different time-lines told with rhythmic surety and an elegant narrative design, Poet #7 is a CSI of the heart, a play about love in all its bewildering forms, a lo-fi sci-fi vision of beautiful mutation and apocalyptic flight.

A young librarian in love for the first time and last time, a poet racing through a war-torn landscape to deliver an urgent message, a social worker unraveling the mysteries of a stranger she must eulogise, a businessman infatuated with his boss’s daughter, and the billions that can be made from the military application of his GM crop.

Poet #7 is an Australian premiere written by multi award-winning Australian playwright Ben Ellis and developed in an electrifying creative partnership with director Daniel Schlusser, whose recent work has been compared with Les Balletts C de la B and the films of Jacques Tati.

I know that not all things in this world make sense
especially love
especially love

Directed by Daniel Schlusser

not only operating but performing the whole thing live, very live, like trying to juggle and dispense a bunch of hot potatoes
