PERFORMANCES/PERFORMERS

We have started production of the work, and the deadline is the end of August, please consider if you are interested in any of the following roles.

We will update this list and note where roles have become unavailable as the parts become filled.

RIGHT NOW SOME PARTS ARE TAKEN, we are still ready for your audition for all parts which are available!

PERFORMANCES/PERFORMERS

Greeter at entrance - Ghost Cowgirl (TAKEN)
Beginning of human processing zone. This person takes the audience member to the entrance to the space.The gloved hand greets and takes the suplicant in to EYCC. This person is the succubus/incubus/seducer/mother. They are clinical and safe. They are the Ghost Cowgirl! Pink, white, medical, elaborate costume, gauzy, lacy uniform, blank face mask, elaborate faux hair. Shamanic fringing.

Door bitches and Human Processors
Tech staff wearing white with white dust masks. Dehumanised people processing audience members. One should be able to reason with and get empathy from a person, but a dehumanised person acts like a machine and this is more frightening than a human or a machine. Human processing is like putting a person in a machine and moving them around mechanically with mechanically biased attitudes to human needs. The processing zone is to create a ritual which reinforces the norms of the new space as a-priori truths.

Bands
Three or four bands will play.

Subliminal Audio Operations (TAKEN)

Techies
All techies - lights, sound, smoke, filming, recording, crowd herding, creature handling, prop handlers. All of these folk will be wearing costumes. White "clean suit" white filter mask, white half mask for top of face, gumboots, safety vests. Maybe badge/belt/patch for mixers.

This person runs the turd polishing booth which offers turd polishing (people buy turds elsewhere?) with chamois's and fake grinding wheel. The "who's got a chamois" poster is associated with this booth. Possibly a tape recording of people singing the chamois song? Has talismans for change.

Procession performers
Four performers with major costumes. (TAKEN)

At the end of the GGE performance the four performers march on to "Cyclops of industry" and sit down to eat themselves to death at a table filled with ankh cake and fluffy toys. They fill their costumes with fluffy toys to make themselves fat
and then explode in smoke and dust and strobe lights. They fight for the food - "I want YOURS" - and then the villains are vanquished. They self destruct through their own greed and fear.
