Are you just a teenage dirtbag, baby? Wanna watch weird vids and drink morning coffee with me, maybe?
Dre Spisto is back with a new genre obliterating 2023 hit. This is a caterpillar on the edge…the edge of ultimate super-trans-morphosis? Or the edge of the bed?
In El Dizzy Beast, Dre bursts from their cocoon in a nappy, downs three baby bottles of green bug juice and demands an audience member tattoo their ass cheek with a butterfly. While Dre is seeking family and transformative success, they build an unexpectedly tender friendship with the audience resulting in surprising interactions.
Dre Spisto makes a mish mash of live theatre, art buffoonery, gallery interventions, filmed and live performance with a current view into technology, media and its relationship to perspectives as a queer, neurodiverse immigrant. El Dizzy Beast is their third solo show.
An(dre)a Spisto said: “As an autistic immigrant who cannot physically return to family, I seek alternative forms of connection in El Dizzy Beast. I’m in constant conversation with the audience.
“My shows are very interactive. The surreal, dreamlike world of film-collages, unscripted phonecalls, house-mate favours and impromptu pop-punk sing-a-longs I create – is there to birth a new community with every single show.”
