HEX
A hit at Melbourne's Next Wave, the dance inspired by a controversial 1987 HIV/AIDS awareness ad comes to Sydney.
Overview
After critical accolades at the Next Wave festival in 2014 and an appearance at Brisbane's MELT festival, James Welsby's evocative dance production Hex is making its way to Sydney.
Partly inspired by this controversial HIV/AIDS awareness ad from 1987, Welsby's show uses movement, music and allegorical imagery to chronicle the gay community's relationship with the devastating disease. To the tunes of Queen, Liberace and Michael Jackson, three dancers move fluidly through the gay scene of the early '80s, the onset of the AIDs crisis, all the way up to present day. In doing so, the hour-long show pays tribute to the countless lives lost to illness, while exploring its impact on young gay men today.
