Artists Ben and Shane are battling their addictions in opposite ways, and are trying to bring each other over to ‘their’ side. But when Shane’s true identity is revealed, Ben must decide between his sanity and his art.

F*** ART is a poetry-based variety show exploring the seductive grip of addiction. Ben is an alcoholic, who holds his own intervention. The only guest, Shane; a chaotic cowboy fully immersed in the lifestyle Ben is trying to escape. Their clash forms a dichotomous spectacle of poems, arguments, shanties, and choreographed wrestling to Shania Twain, as they confront their conflicting approaches to addiction and art.

Content & Trigger warnings: Mature Audiences, Strobe Light Usage, Loud Noises. Contains themes of addiction, drug & alcohol abuse, and discussions around mental health.
