Throttle
Frightening and funny in equal measure, Throttle takes audiences on a joy ride through the dark underbelly of Aussie car culture.
4 dancers, a 1970’s Volvo and a stunt motorcycle rider lead a cast on a ‘joy ride’ of B-grade horror.
lit by your headlights, heard through your car radio and seen through your windscreen, Throttle is immersive dance-theatre viewed from the safety of your own car.
“We talked, screamed, jumped for cover and laughed openly in our little car”
