Composite Acts is a special one-night-only exhibition presenting a newly commissioned video work and live performance by esteemed Australian artist David Rosetzky.

This enigmatic work examines the relationship between language and desire, while exploring non-binary sexual identities, social dynamics and power.

The program involves an extended presentation of Rosetzky's newly commissioned video work, with choreography by Jo Lloyd, performed live by Shelley Lasica and Harrison Ritchie-Jones, sculptural works by Sean Meilak and a live music composition by Duane Morrison.

To produce the work, Rosetzky interviewed his collaborators about their personal relationships and family history to devise a script that forms the nexus of the piece. The script is subsequently spoken, deconstructed and integrated with choreographed movement enacted in dialogue with a suite of sculptural objects.
