A live film experiment curated in partnership with Sydney-based festival and production powerhouse SOFT CENTRE, Harrison Hall, Henry Lai-Pyne (Eek), Sam Mcgilp (PSEUDO), and Alexander Powers (Female Wizard), »STACK« explores power dynamics and cultural peculiarities arising from posthumanism, bio-capitalism, and ecological horror. Blending live cinema, screenplay, choreography, and experimental sound, incorporating raw cuts, POV cams, and eclectic references like Tetsuo the Iron Man and Haraway's Cyborg, the work redefines sci-fi horror and smut through dematerialisation of human matter, oscillating between maximalist media and theatrical purity while highlighting bio-capitalism and ecological horror.

Emme’s artistry melds shrieked vocals with intricate, dystopian soundscapes, crafting a brutal yet beautiful fusion of emo, noise, and hardcore aesthetics with the elegance of modern dance and avant-garde performance art. Her debut project »Heaven Help Me« is a 30-minute solo opera that delves into the raw emotional terrain of surviving an abusive relationship.
