Mortal Condition
About

Presented by Country Arts SA, Larissa McGowan & Insite Arts
Mortal Condition explores a very human relationship and the world of gaming. An unrestrained union turns to video games to ease the monotony. What would your avatar look like if you could choose different parts of you?
Inspired by Mike Patton’s (Faith No More) ground-breaking album Adult Themes for Voice and from observing gamers play for hours on end, Mortal Condition explores human interactions and what might materialise from them in a virtual gaming world.
Larissa McGowan’s precise choreography mixes martial arts and gaming references whilst enlightening our relationship with escapism and technology. Mortal Condition is an extraordinary journey into a virtual world of contemporary dance.
Mt Gambier last saw Larissa’s work Fanatic as a part of Sydney Dance Company’s De Novo and have been up close and personal with her Dance Jungle Gym through Country Arts SA’s DanceXtend program.
“The lasting impression of Mortal Condition is of the exciting quality of the superfast dancing… and this performance has it in spades.” – The Australian.
