The Pipe Manager

Created by Lisa O'Neill

A radical new solo dance theatre work by acclaimed performing artist Lisa O’Neill and her creative team. 

Told through a rich hybrid of movement, illustration, narration and sound, The Pipe Manager takes a satirical look at how we draw upon our powers of creation and invention in the struggle to maintain control over our destinies both personally and globally.

This uniquely imaginative and inspiring work places the audience inside a live illustrated storybook - where the performer and characters journey their way through a foreboding landscape rich in symbolism and metaphor.

Created and directed by Lisa O’Neill working with writer Peter Berkahn, illustrator XTN, sound composer & designer Guy Webster, Lighting Designer David Walters, dramaturg Kathryn Kelly, video production company Jaxzyn, New Media Consultant Keith Armstrong and Costume Designer Glen Brown.

Lisa O’Neill is supported by MAPS for Artists, a management and producing collaboration between Brisbane Powerhouse and Metro Arts.
