1157performancegroup
October - December 2008
MCH was one of a company of five performers in a new theatre work by 1157performancegroup entitled 89% and Rising. The piece addressed ignorance about HIV/AIDS and sexual risk and was presented as a theatrical alterenative reality Q&A panel game. The piece was experimental, hard-hitting, politically incorrect and provocatively absurd. Performed by Matthew Scott (The Moderator), Kat McGarr (no.1), Adam Milford (no.2), MCH (no.3), Clare Davies (no.4) and a random or selected member of the audience (no.5).
Devised and directed by Matthew Scott and Jo Dagless.
