The Wetness
"What is it you thirst for?"
Welcome to The Wetness where your Wetness is welcome.
A silly, sensual & surreal offering to the slippery substance that makes up most of our bodies. We come together under the light of the moon to summon The Wetness in this late night mass for seekers of the sublime that aren't afraid to get a little wet...
Together we sip at the chalice of the divine moisture, splash in the shallows, wade through inner tides, dissolving boundaries between self and surrounding bodies, and hold on to each other as we see just how deep The Wetness can go.
For all we are, just stones and threads, passing Wetness back and forth to each other. As above, so below. What goes in, must come out... Whether you want to sit back and bear witness or dive in with both fins, all are invited. It’s time to seize the spray!
PLEASE NOTE: This work sits somewhere between theatrical performance art, clowning and participative performance- only if you are comfortable in participating. But do remember - the more you put in, the more will come out.

Presented by: Mummy's Plastic
Mummy’s Plastic is the production company and moniker of Boorloo-based artist Rose KB. Her practice is driven by a combination of chaos, catharsis and connection. Whether this is running a pyramid scheme for cryptocurrency based on social capital, hosting a karaoke room for 24 hours straight or developing an artist-run reality TV show on a boat.
Mummy’s Plastic launched in 2017 as part of WA arts festival Camp Doogs. Since then, Rose has been making work across the country including for platforms Liveworks (NSW), Audible Edge, RISING Festival (VIC, 2024-2025), Brand X (NSW), MONA FOMA (TAS), FRINGE WORLD (Emerging Artist of the Year Award 2024), as well as in local art hovels, clubs, hotel rooms, office buildings and an elevator.
