Description From Performance Space database:
"A tale of Australia's loss of innocence, from Gallipoli to Ecstasy...A Romantic Tragedy... From the land of men, beer and sheep, to the land of lasers, sex and nose-candy..."
"Sport and Porn was billed as 'The Epic Aussie Performance' and was the brainchild of Morgan Lewis. Sport and Porn was a multi media work with pyrotechnics, computer generated video graphics, enormous x-rated puppets, sound installations and nylon green and gold tracksuits."
Reviewer's opinion: "Its visual narrative, pot-shots at suburban icons and the archetypal Australian family."
