The Sunlight Liquid Collective (Georgie Silk) and Black Sheep Productions - NZ (Natalie Maria) join forces to initiate '2am Phone Call' - a lucid dream reality about those people who matter the most.

An intimate bedtime epilogue that converses and convulses, whispers and writhes, surges and shouts, in a poignant blend of movement and poetic text.

A call for help at a stupid hour of the night, followed by a gentle nudge to write some words. This show is a palimpsest of stories collected from our lives. Our friends and your friends - friends you stay up all night with, talking shit together whilst hanging upside down on the couch. The subtext that lies underneath those seemingly superficial conversations - the complexities of platonic relationships that we hide or suppress.

​Friends that you see every day. Friends you drift apart from. Friends you call at midnight to cry into a your cold dinner with. Friends you drive to the beach with at 2am. Friends who disappoint you. Friends who you're a disappointment for. Friends who are only your friends because you collide with them frequently. Friends who are needy. Friends who call or text two, six, ten times a day. Feelings. All the feelings. Fucking feelings. Fuck.
