“Queer performance art and dance defined by public acts of confession and self-affliction. BULLYACHE’s simulated mess is wretched and shrill – auto-fiction that doesn’t so much celebrate a crashing demise as it does let it rip.”
“BULLYACHE is one of the most bizarre new British pop phenomena, halfway between the underground and the mainstream, this duo operates in their own universe that mixes music, theater and fashion”
“Beyoncé dancer does zombie ballet in Hamburg…. “TOM” is uncomfortable because on the one hand dance appears as something seductive and beautiful, but on the other hand it strains the body and ultimately destroys it”.
“How are the conditions for queer life in a Britain plagued by soaring inflation and rampant recession? This is the starting point of artist duo BULLYACHE with their social maximalist performance TOM. It takes the story of Orpheus out of Antiquity into a blown up unemployment center in present day UK.”
