[a bird flies and lands on a window sill, power plant close to the edge of your eye, the grassland is hoarse, the flat faces a picture no one wants. No one knows anyone in this building but are sharing waters and walls and hums that no finger can trace so the fingers all click endlessly in the dark. If you are afraid of what the sound of a fallen body can make and wake the block then so be it. 03:05 you are awake in the mud, thinking about a key to a golden lock but you know there is an organ out of place, so what is this lock locking? Then the thermometer breaks. Then the thermometer breaks. Then the thermometer breaks]

All that heaven allows is an audience-led performance installation that allows for multiple (dis)embodiments of the archetypal roles within the genre of horror. Foong/McGrath’s new collaborative work draws on cinema, Artaudian theatre and poetry for a work about the kinetics and politics of horror. It seeps, pervades, hides and lingers between speech, body and structure. It destabilises while breeding new socialities; perverse yet productive. The scene may collapse, or has it already? What good is a thermometer if the house is already on fire?
