Description A late-capitalist battle royale of endurance. HORSES follows the lives of a disparate group of contestants who intertwine across an inhumanely gruelling, Depression-era dance marathon. This surreal yet hyper-real social satire slyly and sincerely evokes the 1930s Great Depression to consider the pandemic-ravaged 2020s. HORSES plunges audiences inside the macabre cabaret of a historically real but morally unreal ‘reality’ competition. Set in Sydney in 1932.
