Idle Hands Wake Up With Fleas
This is your training ground. Toes pointed in anticipation, the lesson begins.
post invites you, the elite, to take part in a crash course in police violence and jazz ballet. Seven minutes of training to equip you for dominance in the world outside.
With a mixture of glitzy showmanship and gritty black humor, Idle Hands Wake Up With Fleas is an invaluable tutorial on how to come out on top.... and stay there. Keep your eyes alive and remember, without victory there can be no survival.
A performance in a shipping container for six audience members at a time.
A sweat chamber complete with guide books.
An anti-terrorist locomotion.
"Idle Hands Wake Up With Fleas which taught the audience a choreographic score composed of military restraint tactics - contained a dark and overt politic which helped to reposition the work in a somewhat violent way."
— Alex Ben Mayor, REALTIME
