Battling the Cyclops security guard, eluding the Sexy Sirens of the typing pool and braving the ‘underworld’ of R&D…it’s just another day at the office for our down-at-heel exec Jason as he embarks on a funny, futuristic, flamboyant quest for the mysterious ‘Golden Fleece’. The Yokohama Delegation is an event for sore eyes. The audience is plunged into a darkened office block, where mascara-drenched eyelashes flicker in time to a syncopated beat, and the secretaries who inhabit the mythical landscape between clock-in and clock-out kick off their high heels for risque dance sequences.
This uproarious quest melds Greek myth and technicolour office comedies with The Performance Corporation’s signature brand of energetically humourous physical/visual theatre. It features an original retro-futuristic music score, choreography and the company’s signature high-tech box of sound and lighting tricks.
