Live Art Club presents Dyke Systems Limited
Sally and Susan aren’t your average suburban women. They’re business women. And they invite you to a prestigious seminar that could help you get filthy rich!
Step into the glittery, unhinged world of multi-level marketing mayhem with Fag Packet, Kheski Kobler and Holly Wilson-Guy, the award-winning cabaret and theatre double act. Equal parts corporate seminar and queer fever dream, DYKE Systems Ltd is a sharp, subversive takedown of pyramid schemes, ruthless heteronormativity and corporate feminism.
Set in the 1990s at the height of multi-level marketing expansion, DYKE Systems Ltd follows the story of Sally and Susan, two suburban American women on the hunt for new recruits for their ‘very lucrative business opportunity’.
As they dive deeper into the world of multi-level marketing cracks begin to appear, unravelling corruption and unspoken desires as the lies they’ve built everything on start to catch up with them.
Blending Fag Packet’s signature cocktail of comedy and physical theatre DYKE Systems Ltd explores how the forces of greed and conformity threaten us in a capitalist nightmare that’s coming for us all.
Bring your wallets, your carabiner and get ready to find your inner Dynamic! Young! Knowledgeable! Entrepreneur!
