Under the Covers

We couldn’t get a babysitter tonight so we had to bring our babies with us. Please could you keep an eye on them so we can get on with the show?

In an interactive media performance Zoo Indigo take their babies on tour so they can perform while you babysit. Combining autobiography and cutting edge technology, the performance duo attempt to re-enact the movie star roles they aspire to with help from two flat pack daddies, but the day-to-day-ness of their real lives keeps interrupting.

Under the Covers is an intimate, tender and humorous meditation on the way in which artists juggle the work they make with the lives they choose to lead. In re-visiting real-life in the making of their latest work Zoo Indigo marks a return to performance after a pregnant pause.
