Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall

From Britney Spears to Barack Obama, performance trio post reveal how politics and entertainment aren't that far apart in a world of smoke and mirrors.

Shamelessly Glitzy Work looks at lies and illusion,manipulation and the sheer power that comes with working acrowd. The performance delves into the construction of imagein the political arena, magicians and illusion, rave culture, mass euphoria, and professional 'pick up artists' who claim theycan seduce any woman using an intricate set of rules, codes and strategic costume choices.

Levitating bodies and wet t-shirt competitions, bleeding heads and spectacular light shows are delivered with the intenseenergy and confidence of a performance group that has no shame in peeling back the layers of glamour to reveal all theugly truths you might not have known.

There are stories half told and facts contested; solos interrupted and smoke and mirrors that fail to hide anything. Thereis a little bit of honesty (but not much).
