Catatonically deadpan, gratuitously vapid and gleefully strung out, Karaoke is a performance about love and rockets for two performers and an autocue.

Playing out as an actual karaoke, the text and action read off of a screen and projected for the audience to see, the show is an exercise in anti-theatricality that's either brazenly cynical or pathetically honest depending on how you want to look at it.

Karaoke follows the critically acclaimed Amusements as the second part of Lost In The Funhouse, a trilogy about pleasure and boredom in the 21st century.

Created with the support of Battersea Arts Centre, Residence Bristol, Azala espacio de creación and TAE Vitoria-Gasteiz.

'[Like] looking into a fun-house mirror, with the way it takes what you know then stretches and bends it'
