The Irreducible

Tuesday 14 April 2026 7:30pm – 8:30pm
TW Explosives Factory St Kilda
Step into a vivid, otherworldly environment where surfaces ooze, webs breathe and the human shifts between forms.

The Irreducible is a visceral performance exploring ‘trans’formation, symbiosis, and the porous boundary between the body, identity and the world around us.

With striking visuals, unsettling choreography, and a surreal soundscape, this piece invites audiences to witness an eerie cycle of emergence, decay, and renewal—where nothing is static, and even the space itself seems sentient.

Award-winning director-performer Cohan investigates the boundaries between the queer body, the self and object. Their practice brings composition and design elements into the process as essential collaborators, treating the body as an extension of space and soundscape. Founded in 2016, their company Blank Space Productions has built a reputation for bold, transformative theatre driven by a founding principle of transformation.

Now landing in Naarm, this production delivers Blank Space’s provocative and physical work with full force — offering a post-drag bent to movement and theatre that shimmers between unsettling and exhilarating. Come witness what happens when form dissolves, identity shifts and space itself becomes alive.

“this piece is choreographed to perfection… raw and seemingly spontaneous”

– Isolated Nation, on ‘Sudden Skies’

“The audience is made aware they are stepping into a world unlike our own… begins with intensity and doesn’t let up until the end”

– Fourth Wall Media, on ‘Sudden Skies’
