Soft Shock Productions Presents…Broke Down Music Box: a 9-day festival of live performance and music.

Over nine glorious nights, a tribe of wild, sexy, and anarchic creatives are taking over Sydney’s beloved inner-west sanctum The Flight Path Theatre to invite all who dare to dream of a love-in of music, theatre, and punk-rock revelry.

Each night will begin with a performance of the one-act play, Cowboy Mouth, the surreal, fevered real-life love story penned by famed playwright Sam Shepard (True West, Buried Child) and rock icon Patti Smith.

Conceived on a typewriter in the chaotic infamy of New York’s Chelsea Hotel, Cowboy Mouth, is an urban fable about a woman who kidnaps a young man at gunpoint, taking him hostage from his wife and child to make him a pop prophet, ''like a rock-and-roll Jesus with a cowboy mouth.” Cowboy Mouth is an exhilarating and poetic gunfight of a play crafted as a cautionary tale about using art as deliverance from our flaws and relating to someone’s potential instead of who they are.

“a sizzling, surrealistic 70 minutes” New York Times

weird, wild and rather wonderful” Guardian

Following each performance of Cowboy Mouth the space will shift from gritty and dangerous indie theatre to a riotous evening of live music with sets from some of Sydney’s most exciting live bands including, Dande and The Lion, Georgie Jones, Locked in Lummo, The Polymics, Stitcher, Elysae.
