50 Ways To Kill A Slug
Devised and performed by Dre Spisto & Joana Nastari
In a pristinely manicured garden, amidst the bucolic borders, lurk two shameful pests. These horny slimeballs just want to chomp, chew, spit, live, lust and die freely in an ever more hostile home.
50 Ways To Kill A Slug is a multi-sensory celebration of slugs as the anarchic icon we’ve been waiting for: soft, unruly and disgusting. As slugs, the artists explore the slowness, silliness and sensuality needed to sustain their resistance across generations.
Joana (Fuck You Pay Me, My Uncle is Not Pablo Escobar) and Dre (El Dizzy Beast, Butch Princesa) are award-winning theatre makers whose love for the slug as the ultimate underdog has brought them together to make this ecstatic exploration of radical rest, toxic productivity and belonging.
This show is nonverbal and we invite audiences who would benefit from watching shows without spoken language.
