BABY
by T. Manderson-Galvin + T. Payne
BABY is a 1985 American adventure fantasy film; what your lover calls you; and your mother calls you. An iconoclastic, rhapsodic and ice-cold performance on the problem of human agency.
This work will be enjoyed by you if you like: Throwing Bricks Through Windows, Enjoying, and a polar bear eating its young.
"In a universe where all seek the true face under the mask , the best way to mislead is to wear the mask of truth itself " - S. Zizek
"Sometimes I put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters." - Mike Tyson
Text-based, post-dramatic, political satire that is mostly as described in the image above; an audience with a polar bear; a victim of climate change, forced migration and globalisation. You are what you eat and this beast has eaten it's young, your young and smoked the entire meth crisis.
"Polar bears... they're just used as a deceitful heartthrob; you know, to pluck your heartstrings."
- Piers Corbyn
Warning: Yes it is.
For audiences 21st Century +
