Motion Sickness (1)

A waist-up photo of a young white man on stage (Toby Leman) with long brown hair and glasses. Toby is wearing a white t-shirt and holding a saxophone; his mouth remains closed while he stares intensely into the distance. The stage is lit in red and yellow, which creates orange-red shadows of Toby, while his saxophone glows gold. There is another masculine white person, standing in the background who is covering their mouth with their hand.
The Curly Garpher
The image is large a white square - in it's centre there are two tiny black silhouettes of people that appear to be floating apart in a weightless like environment. It evokes a sense of space and contemplation.
A man in his twenties (Ben Ashby) with short brown hair and a moustache is whispering into a microphone that is being dangled in front of his mouth by someone standing behind him. All we can see of the person behind him are their hands emerging from either side of his head.

Winners of Best Theatre at the Fringe 2024 return with pulsing dance music and an existential crisis

Please take a second to think about the ever-expanding blackness of space, about the vastness of the deep ocean. Consider that roughly 5,600 minutes of video is uploaded to TikTok every single minute. Space, the ocean, the internet. Do you feel small?

The team who brought you 'Running into the Sun' (Winners of Melbourne Fringe 2024 - Best Theatre & The Emerging Company Award) will take you on a visceral journey to remind you that to be a tiny part of a massive universe is not the same as being insignificant.

Through the internet we can see all of humanity in real time and HD, and it’s horrifying. We can also see more of the universe than ever before, and it's freaky.

Motion Sickness is a2 company’s sophomore outing at the Melbourne Fringe. An hour long performance of urgent electronic music performed live by Toby Leman (Earl Green, HUMMUCIDE), and a sharp new text written and performed by Ben Ashby, that asks the question: how can we stay human in an increasingly inhuman world? It’s a cathartic hour of fear, rage and hope against the loneliness of being alive.

Directed and presented by Nadiyah Akbar and Ben Ashby; AKA a2 Company.
