The art of living in the in-between is a collaborative art project featuring installation, film, performance, workshops and gigs that uncover the inspirations and fantasies that have catalyzed 5 years of works by Cake.
Over 5 days, a shophouse is transformed into a hotbed of images, words, sound, strange movement, magnetic encounters and unexpected happenings sometimes way into the night! Wander through the rooms, each flowing and ebbing with exquisite strangeness or come especially for the performance that’ll put the ultra in ‘ultra Cake mix’ or get revitalized in a workshop or hang loose and fancy free at a gig or just come for it all and get a super Cake fix! Cake turns 5 and this art experiment is all about celebrating a journey, stirring up new possibilities and capturing moments in the realm of the in-between.
Coming of age, life and death, monsters in the making, animal lust, divine longings, wilderness wandering, mother superior, sons and daughters, the power of two, slipping and sliding and facing the light. Here’s the plan. 10 captivating characters from 5 years of Cake productions connect and collide in a whole new theatrical work. Drawing text and inspiration from all previous works, the characters live and learn, twist and turn, strive and thrive in a wild, new, dramatic concoction.
