At PICA we recognise that we are situated within the unceded lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present, and to those emerging leaders in the community. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.

Always was, always will be.

We are closed today. Our exhibitions are always free.

Fraudulent Behaviour

Fraudulent Behaviour

Fraudulent Behaviour uses prose, invisible friends, a decoy duck and cardboard cut-outs to create a witty and thoughtful performance in response to Nietzsche’s assertion ‘We need lies in order to live…’
The narrative unfolds using spoken word, movement and a series of objects that play with notions of what may be perceived as real. Inherent in the work is a humorous use of language, both in delivery and writing style. Ideas, themes and content loop back on themselves to create a dense and evocative theatrical experience. Rosie plays with notions of time and space, interweaving real and imagined worlds to create a compelling and insightful performance about the illusory nature of life.
