Part of a set of excerpts from ten major works by Nigel Kellaway (1994 - 2004), assembled and edited by Kellaway and his long-time associate, video artist Peter Oldham. This Most Wicked Body is the product of a ten day marathon that took place in Sydney in 1994. Nigel Kellaway was locked into a theatre space for 240 hours. Each hour had been carefully preconceived, leaving some opportunity for improvisation and development over the ten days. The discoveries of that 240 hours on stage have been distilled into 90 minutes of intense theatre - brutal, pornographic and 'wickedly' funny. This Most Wicked Body (re)invents Nigel Kellaway's forti(something)eth birthday - a ludicrous moment of crisis. The man reinvents himself. He demands some response from the failing body he has created. He juggles a theatrical fiction with the reality of himself onstage before an audience. He invites a spectator to join him for his celebratory dinner - someone to act out his object of desire; to share in his dark, comical self-doubt. Joining them on stage is the acclaimed concert pianist Gerard Willems performing a phenomenal all Beethoven program - the monster sonatas. This Most Wicked Body is about living with the fiction of Nigel Kellaway - an icon of elegance and obscenity. It casts honesty into the spotlight, interrogating the authenticity of the virtuoso performance. .
