A road trip into the agoraphobia and desolation of the Australian outback, roadkill is situated within the minds of its three performers.

roadkill explores their fears and their twisted perceptions of the landscape and its dangers. Interlaced with these fears are urban myths, backpacker deaths, thirst, love, distrust and the harsh loneliness of the bush. roadkill is an unsettling ride into the world of a couple who break down in the middle of nowhere and find that their greatest danger is not their isolation. roadkill deals with these psychological states through a vocabulary of intense physicality. There is genuine danger and risk in the work.

“How many superlatives can you fit into one short review? This extraordinary dance work deserves them for its theatricality, choreography, performing skills and daring, sound, lighting – all combining to make this the best piece of dance as theatre seen in Sydney since Splintergroup was last here with lawn. ” Jill Sykes, The Sydney Morning Herald, 2009
