Jupiter Orbiting by Joshua Pether

A person wearing a black full-body suit sits on a white box blowing up a pink balloon. Around their waist is a blow up flamingo. Another person on the right wears a full-body white suit and sits on a pile of confetti.

Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy in association with Next Wave and PICA

Independent creator and performer of Kalkadoon heritage, Joshua Pether, takes us on a sci-fi adventure that opens up a new world filled with surreal and fantastical realities – questioning perceptions of what is real and what is not. 

In his second solo work, Pether combines movement, sound and video to negotiate the hazy boundaries between fantasy and reality, myth and truth. Charting experiences of isolation and distance, this performative dance work negotiates personal identity and body politics. Throughout the piece, performer and audience develop a shared bond that explores perceptions of mental health, our relationship with trauma and our capacity for empathy.
