Festival 2026
Bunny
Australia

By
Daniel Kok and Luke George
Running time
120 mins

In order to unravel shared lines of connection, to suspend tension and to unleash collective desires, Daniel Kok and Luke George look to macramé, sailors’ knots, Chinese knots and rope bondage to weave together an interactive experience of collectivity. “Bunny” is a nickname given to the person being tied in rope bondage. In this work, we ask ourselves this question: What if everyone (in the theatre) is a Bunny?

A unique interactive performance using the physical properties of rope and knots to explore desire, trust, consent and connection between artist and audience. Audiences will be invited to play an active role in the performance, becoming part of a carefully woven, interactive experience of sensation and attention. Bunny asks audiences to reflect on how we hold one another, and what it means to do so together.

About Daniel Kok and Luke George



Daniel Kok is a choreographer and shibari practitioner whose works deal with the politics of Spectatorship and Audienceship. As artistic director of Dance Nucleus (Singapore), he develops capacities for independent artists and trans-local partnerships in the Asia-Pacific.

Luke George is a multidisciplinary artist creating work that spans performance, installation, craft and curation. Through this work, Luke examines the dynamics of intimacy and collectivity to create ‘safe spaces’ that allow for care as well as risk. Luke’s artistic practice is informed by queer politics and spaces, whereby people are neither singular nor isolated, and bodies of difference can intersect, practice mutual listening, and take responsibility for themselves and one another.
