Polytoxic teamed up with internationally acclaimed design duo Craig & Karl and animator Pete Foley to create a spectacular new site-specific work for ‘Festival 2018’ at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games & Flowstate South Bank.
PRIVACY SETTINGS explores the seduction and allure of a surveillance-soaked society through an intoxicating blend of dance, theatre, costume design and colour-saturated pop-graphic visuals. Playful and cheeky, Polytoxic delves into a world where the screen consumes our lives; where snooping is an everyday activity and the lines of public vs private are indistinct.
Come play in this pop-inspired playground where you’re only as memorable as your last live feed.
