An archive of memory and legend, what a ludicrous and audacious calamity we intend to create.

Chrissie Parrott Performance Company will bring together an exceptional creative team of Western Australian artists to explore this multi-art production which incorporates dance, music, large scale painted artworks and text.

In the initial creative development, the artistic team will embark on a journey to bring the artwork of Doherty to life through theatre. During a series of intensive workshops, exploring all aspects of sound, movement, text and design, a rigorous foundation for the production will be built.

The characters inhabiting Doherty's canvases, half animal/half human, are sketched as if they were passing thoughts, nightmares or the effluence of a disturbed subconscious. Reg Cribb has described Doherty's work as "paintings that seize one by the jugular, kick down the doors of perception and suggest a myriad of stories full of darkness and wonder."

Parrott's distinctive theatrical style, which explores all aspects of the human condition through the absurd, the romantic and animalistic, will offer a unique approach to extend Doherty's artworks into the theatrical arena.
