An insult in five locations
New experimental performance company, Furball Theatre presents their first work-in-decomposition, in which text, sound, performance, set and visual design surrender themselves so that new substances might form in their place.
In an unwieldy and mythical landscape three infantile yowies vie to establish a fixed hierarchy but when a demigod arrives at camp, her presence alone threatens the natural order.
Yahoos Descent burrows into a hyper masculine and profane culture of regional adolescents at their most ornery moments. An examination of language, identity and hierarchy it is material ripe for the compost heap.
