Snake Eats Head is an inoperative audio tour of the Sherbrooke Forest and a frenzied night journey in desperate search of the sublime. A combination of splintered audio and personal artefact reveals an unravelling of the collective to uncover the individual, and a ravelling of the individual to find the collective. A playful, private, and prayerful experience that will leave you wary of the questionable comforts of solitude.
Pony Cam is an award-winning experimental collective of theatre makers comprising Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, William Strom, Dominic Weintraub and Hugo Williams. Their work uses performance, subversion, and the bodily experience of liveness to activate audiences and sites in unexpected ways.
“Together, we take great joy in smashing together disparate theatrical forms – often abandoning traditional modes of meaning making in search of the urgent, exciting, and energetic.”
