Skin - VOiiiD Collective & Bcharre بشرّي

Brisbane choreographer and director Jade Brider makes work that doesn't ask permission. Her company VOiiiD Collective fuses contemporary dance, sound, wearable art and visual theatre into experiences that are deliberately unsettling, politically alive and built for maximum sensory impact. SKIN brings two of their works together in a raw double bill, powered by live music from Australian-Middle Eastern artist Bcharre, whose electronic music draws deeply from his Lebanese heritage while carrying the atmospheric sweep of Berlin techno.

For this show, The Princess Theatre flips the script. In a rare reverse-mode setup, the audience is invited onto the stage itself - seated within the space where the performance unfolds.

It’s an intimate, stripped-back configuration, with general admission seating split between floor spots and a limited number of chairs. Less distance, more presence - a chance to experience the work from inside the room, not just in front of it.

SKIN plays The Princess Theatre for Open Season. For anyone who believes the stage is still one of the most powerful places to ask a hard question.

Open Season is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Strategic Partnerships Fund, and by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts Revive Live program.
