'The home renovation - the quintessential Australian mid-life crisis: Balinese haven or New York style warehouse? Duck egg blue or Waikiki sunset? Arts House and Torque Show present the world premiere of "Malmö," an absurdly humorous and timely look at relationships and surviving the rigors of drilling, sanding and painting.
Two performers, a couple, are stuck amidst an unfinished plan, a half built renovation and now struggle to reinvent, remodel and repackage their relationship while revisioning their home. Combining dance, movement, text and striking visual imagery to create a performance where Dogville meets The Block, "Malmö" peels back emotional layers to investigate how we address the constellation of our family within our home. Malmö questions whether we have commercialized our nesting to a point that we no longer recognize our true selves.' Source: www.torqueshow.com.au (Sighted 27/01/2012).
