AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'"My Bicycle Loves You" is a wildly imaginative, often surreal, modern-day fantasy that pays homage to the spirit of vaudeville. The work is inspired by the recent discovery of a treasure-trove of Federation era films revealing the extraordinary world of one of Australia's best-loved troupes of travelling entertainers, the Corrick family.
A mad menagerie of characters from the Corrick films is set loose in a modern world, disrupting the sedate lives of neighbours in an ordinary Australian apartment building. In these delightful yet illogical encounters, everything goes sideways: people magically transform into vegetables, mirrors reflect the unexpected, and cameras don't film what you want them to.
