PRESENTED BY THE SUBSTATION & APHIDS

Aren't you sick of surprises?

Don't you crave a day, a week...a life where there is nothing to worry about, no problems, no dramas?

Is it possible? Is that what we want?

A new stage work by Mish Grigor / APHIDS makes an attempt at a life with NO DRAMAS.

In a series of games, tasks and social encounters, two women attempt to keep things aggressively chill. They smile with tears in their eyes and push their feelings down, down, down. Into the sock drawer. Never seen again.

See? Easier this way.
