Ad Nauseam: A night of infidelity

AtticErratic presents as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival: Ad Nauseam

'Cause tonight there’ll be a fire or a flood, or something, and I know that it’s going to bury me and it won’t just be up to my knees.'

Fresh from their sellout season of Christina: A Story With Music, AtticErratic presents - Ad Nauseam: A Night of Infidelity, written and directed by Tom Pitts and performed by Nick Bendall.

Ad Nauseam is a monologue following one man’s night through the streets and bars of some city or other. Using poetic language and a musical score of waltzes and rock music, the piece is a fractured celebration of excess, egoism and regret, themes that all come at the end of altruism. As the night progresses, using sarcasm and black comedy, the character reveals his various desires and the inevitability of their being played out; and they are played out. And as the audience are taken further and further into his night (maybe further than they wanted to go), they discover that perhaps they’re not all that different from him.

Showing at one of Melbourne’s most exciting venues: Collingwood Underground Carpark, where AtticErratic had much success with Pitts’ 'Christina'.

Jason Whittaker of Crikey.com.au said of the Underground “eerie, enveloping space “ and of Christina “well paced, imaginatively conceived and wonderfully performed” of AtticErratic: “In a car park, underground you’ll find the theatre stars of tomorrow…this ensemble of players is one to watch on the Melbourne indie theatre scene"

Ad Nauseam is showing at the Underground with AtticErratic's other Fringe offering Ad Infinitum.

Dates are 23 September - 7 October (no shows on 1-4 October)
