A belingering pair of protagonists take a rollercoaster ride through the decimated remains of contempory culture in this bleak and comical modern fable. Void Story is performed on stage as a radio play with the actors doing the voices and making sound affects. Behind them a series of projected images show the storyboard of an impossible movie version of ‘Tim Etchells’ unsettling text.
Quite liked this, reminded me of when I was younger at home telling stories to my younger siblings. Doing all the sound effects. It’s like sitting behind the scenes of a radio show only there is also a screen with a collage of imagery.
