Uncle Vanya but there’s ASMR soap cutting videos playing in the bottom right corner Community Night
Join us for a Community Night performance of Uncle Vanya but there’s ASMR soap cutting videos playing in the bottom right corner by Mary Angley and Associates, after Anton Chekhov presented by Paper Mouth Theatre.
Monday 13 July
6.30pm
Adelaide College of the Arts, Main Theatre
What begins as a faithful production of Chekhov’s poignant, pastoral play, spirals into a meticulously crafted chaos engine — testing the limits of sincerity, concentration, and collective theatrical endurance.
In this deliriously overstimulating remix, Chekhovian despair is dragged kicking and screaming into our current attention economy. This genre-bending, gender-bending live performance collides classically constructed text with a riot of media interference — TikTok dances, papier-mâché, and pro-wrestling smackdowns.
Content: Simulated gunshots; stylised fight scenes; references to suicide; alcohol; mild, opt-in audience participation; ASMR sounds (amplified whispering, crunching, slicing); densely layered audio and visual material; existential themes; haze; a bright flash of light.
Run time: 95 minutes, no interval.
