The Butchery Of Morph And Substance

A young man is locked in a white room. A desk, chair and an old typewriter are the only objects in the space. The man being held is being fed an experimental mystical drug called Substance. He is tortured; butchered both physically and mentally.
Wolfgang Baas is a young dance and multimedia artist who is fast developing a reputation for creating surreal, confronting and powerful movement theatre that is unafraid to tackle complex and serious contemporary issues.
Incorporating Black Alley Productions signature mix of film, physical theatre, movement, music and verse, The Butchery of Morph and Substance explores the male psyche in an explosive and stark environment.

The Butchery Of Morph And Substance is a surreal and confronting work

that tackles issue’s within society head on, in an unapologetic and
frightening manner.
We meet a man held within a white room, being fed a mythic drug called
Substance by ghosts from a new digital empire, of which lies just
beyond these minimalist confines.
As his dosage gets higher with passing days weeks and months, the
lingering effects become more alarming, more warped and more twisted,
as he looses all concepts that we hold true to life in the year twenty
ten.
“It is an adventure into the future to find the chord, to pull it from
socket, and to see the world around fall pixel by pixel. Revealing a
blacked mass; earth spewing pollution into murky sea’s from deep in
her bowels. Perhaps earth drunk her elixir, but a little to late, for
Substance can quickly turn to poison.”
Effortlessly employing verse, film, contemporary dance and physical
theater, twenty one year old Baas portrays the inner turmoil felt by
his character, with confidence and an eerie understanding that bridges
the gap between the esoteric and the existent, in this his seventh
solo work.
