FRIENDS OF POP NEWS // VITALSTATISTIX
Our friends over at Vitalstatistix are hosting the Adelaide season of ‘Exposure’ by Branch Nebula next week!
Tarps down, goggles on and gloves off. Two women in their 50s bathe in deep pits of domestic detritus to investigate the body’s relationship to systems of power.
Slicked with oil and lit by microwave buzz, ‘Exposure’ is an ugly-beautiful piece by acclaimed performance artists Latai Taumoepeau and Mirabelle Wouters, who upend endless struggles of everyday expectation.
Steel bedframes dangle and scrape. Toxins ooze and whitegoods clank. In the world of ‘Exposure’, the aging female body is lain bare as a site of force and resilience as the duo submit themselves to increasingly surreal states of material force and environmental instability.
First developed at Adhocracy 2024, Vitalstatistix is thrilled to present the Adelaide premiere of this incredible work, straight after their runs in Melbourne at RISING 2026 (as part of the inaugural Australian Dance Biennale), and Sydney at PACT Theatre.
See ‘Exposure’ at the Waterside Workers Hall, located on 11 Nile Street, Yartapuulti/Port Adelaide. Tickets available via the link in bio.
Performance dates:
Thursday 11 June - Sunday 14 June 2026
