Search Party
My Son & Heir
My Son & Heir is an anarchic celebration of the everyday heroism of parenthood, set amongst a never-ending mess of plastic, flashing-beeping, bubble-blowing chaos.
Search Party are parents, they have a son born in the same year as ‘Baby Cambridge’, and that’s where the similarities end. My Son & Heir confronts the spectacle of the ‘New Royals’ and their strategic attempts to appear just like us. In a playful examination of the relentlessness of raising children, and the guilt-ridden one-upmanship of mainstream baby culture, Search Party considered what sort of man their son and heir will become.
Search Party performed My Son & Heir in 2014's edition of Mayfest.
A Spring Festivals commission with Pulse, Watch Out and Sprint.
