Malmö

Torque Show

Australia

SOLD OUT

Malmö is a story of a couple in that quintessentially Australian condition: the home renovation. We are invited into their world; we laugh and join their conceit. But things are not as they first seem. This couple is, perhaps, hell-bent towards aspirational ruin.

Segueing between dance, text and striking visual imagery, Malmö challenges the performer-audience contract in a surprising physical and emotional journey described as Dogville meets The Block.

Unsettling, absurdly funny and profound, Malmö is a cliché-bending exploration of the commercialisation of modern nesting.
