Bad Deep: The Last Resort

Duckie Blog, Burl-esque, Performance Art & Installations

Bad Deep is a club night series put on by the infamous party crew & design collective, Entropico.

Their nights are always 100% in terms of decor, music and audience participation. The Last Resort edition was no exception. The Sly Fox positively glowed with tropical apoco-tiki style, and the dance floor was packed.

Entropico parties always have a conceptual thematic element, and this was our brief:

Are you ready for a Contiki cannibalism nightmare?
It smells like burning rubber and Malibu, and the Daiquiris flow with a sunburnt sense of doom.
A kitsch strip of Palm Springs paradise has been ravaged by nuclear apocalypse and opportunistic party pillagers, but one bastion of resort living remains.
The pastel asbestos walls of The Last Resort stand tall, and the guests are keeping the good times rolling. They’re burning palm fronds to power the ice machine and using coconut oil to fuel the decks.

Our performance art response was inspired by the Japanese Island Okunoshima. Originally housing a top secret factory for producing poison gas during WWII, it was later abandoned. Legend has it (*not verified but shhh!) that bunnies were used for poison testing but later escaped and bred, covering the uncanny island with adorable bunnies.

But mostly this was manifest as two bunnies having lengthy comedy sex.
