A sermon, led by an accidental priest, delivers the Truth, which in every way purposefully misreads the bible and takes minor details to dizzying extremes. Told with pageantry and pomp plus cockney hip-hop; block-rocking, mega-club anthems; atonal opera for electronic organ and a cardboard choir.

“could be the surprise hit of the Midsumma festival, could be memorably awful”

Paperain was the winner of Malthouse Theatre's 3D Fest, 2008 which saw LUE (Lust/Unchastity/Excess) meet with industry professionals in order to develop their skills even further.

Based in the 13 day turmoil of the Cuban Missile Crisis this physical theatre piece was created in order to comment on humanities obsession with its own end or 'apocalypse'. This was achieved by the characterisations of three 1960's housewives alongside the three male leaders responsible for the worlds near atomic end: Nikita Khruschev, J.F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro.
