Enter the Mezcal-soaked dream landscape of DREAMS OF THE
CHICKEN, devised by Latin America's bastard-son-of-Dada Hernan
Palacio.
With a nod to Alfred Jarry (Pere Ubu), Antonin Artaud (Theatre
of Cruelty), Carlos Castaneda (The Teachings of Don Juan),
Julio Cortazar (Hopscotch) and poet Pablo Neruda, Palacio
brings to life the dreamy world of the chicken.
Swimming in magic and ritual, the Da-Da-mented Argentinean
will hypnotise a live chicken and with the help of a pataphysical
contraption, a bottle of Mezcal, Leandro's musical concoptions,
Eleonor & Jacky's charm, the audience and other devices. You
will see and feel the dreams of the chicken.
Every night will be a one-of-a-kind experience in this truly
hallucinogenic dream-world.
What is pataphysics? what does it have to do with chickens?
Based on the work of Alfred Jarry, pataphysics is the search
for imaginary solutions to practical problems. Dream of the
Chicken roosts in the theatre of the absurd, Dada, Surrealism
and symbolism, with a distinctly Latin American spin.
"A national treasure, this man should be funded"
Juan Elturro, former president of Argentina (1 to 7 December
2001)
"Dreams of the Chicken, it’s better than chicken Maryland"
Mike Coppola, Head Chef, University of Melbourne cafeteria
"Some people think I’m a comedian, but actually I’m an Argentinean"
Hernan Palacio, coordinator of the Institute of Pataphysical
Studies
