From RISING site
In 2022 we clocked on for 8/8/8: WORK—the first in Marcus McKenzie and Harriet Gillies’ triptych about work, rest and play. It was eight straight hours of life-coach gurus, micro-dosing techbros, office politics and piss. We laughed, we clapped, we shaved Jeff Bezos until he was smooth and ready for atmospheric re-entry.
Now the band’s back together. WORK is over. It’s time to wade through the wasteland of REST. From 9pm until 5am, the plush backrooms of Arts Centre Melbourne will cushion our collective unconscious.
Spend the night with us, as we sprawl into an ambient meditation on care and control, digital detoxing, and the commodification of relaxation by the neoliberal machine. Also, paradoxically, the immense labour required to create a work about rest.
Clock off and roam.
It’s in the witching hours when things get real squelchy.
