Whiskey & Boots is a Perth-based performance company. They make Headphone Verbatim Performance work that examines the challenges and contradictions of the human condition. Using storytelling with music, they take real stories gathered from a community and share them publicly, illuminating moments that are familiar, expose common challenges and secret fears, reminding audiences that we are all complex, ugly, beautiful, brave, funny, flawed, and vulnerable. Their work is low-fi, stripped back and welcoming, the fourth wall doesn't exist. Through the sharing of honest moments in intimate spaces, they aim to help people understand each other better, boldly, honestly, playfully.
