“Where would you draw the line?” is the simple, yet looming question left tantalisingly unanswered by transgressive performance artist Joey Hateley, delivering diRTy to daring audience’s ready to find their own truths. Integrated with British Sign Language Interpretation by Siobhan Rocks, diRTy is a surreal semi-autobiographical performance piece, inviting audiences to eavesdrop on the conversation between conflicting personas inside someone’s head.
As the writer-performer, Hateley interweaves gender subversion, personal secrets and cinema-graphic imagery to summon an internal army, desperately trying to break free from a cocoon of torment and shame. A perverted psycho-drama, visionary extravaganza and unique multi-disciplinary performance work, diRTy is a raw depiction of the taboos and excesses of humanity.
