Performance
We’re so excited you’re here. We move fast looking for action, or maybe new nail polish. We’re safe together. We whisper to each other in pink tights. We are new best friends and we can’t believe we have so much in common. We lean in to pash a stranger at four in the morning and begin to projectile vomit without restrain. We pause, take a breath, and keep leaning in. We push boundaries to impress each other … Don’t be scared, we did it once before.
Lost in a highlighted, over-stimulated and definitively pink universe, post presents a ten-minute performance in a hotel room for one audience member at a time.
This is how it works: book in a time and show up at the hotel. You will be greeted and welcomed into the six underfed arms of three schoolies in their hotel room. Half teen party, half ghost train, it’s ten minutes of super fun.
Presented by Post.
