The Living Museum of Fetishized Identities
2003-2004
"Club Raw was nothing short of amazing, in every connotation of that word. ... Everything is familiar and unfamiliar. ... unforgettable, haunting and eerily attractive imagery." |
In 2004 Knox was invited to perform again with La Pocha Nostra's core company in The Living Museum of Fetishized Identities, for which she created two post-apocalyptic characters, Raw Bush and Bunny HaHa (pictured above). |
In 2003 and 2004 Knox worked with La Pocha Nostra, a company of performance artists and activists based in USA/Mexico, directed by artist and aesthetic philosopher Guillermo Gomez Peña.
Assisted by an Australia Council for the Arts Skills and Development grant, she joined an intensive two-week masterclass at the UK's Centre for Performance Research. Next, she trained with the troupe to devise and present Club Raw at the Castle Theatre, Aberystwyth, Wales. |
"Pocha Nostra's Raw Club was a dazzlingly brilliant production; an example of interactivity at its best. We were ushered into the lobby, exchanged our currency and waited. The doors opened and a new world awaited us. Suddenly we were on holiday and arriving at an unexpected destination. The best way I can describe the experience is that 'theatre', as we know it, had been disassembled and we were set free to journey through an 'aesthetic space' and in doing so, to become a part of it." |
