Description | "In the bowels of the MLC Centre two-hundred hard-hatted blokes have gathered in the concrete dust. They're mostly staring at the two meter high inflated pink dick that leans against one wall. The four performers are hanging in a corner, next to a piece of fibro bearing the words "STOP AIDS"...No Condom No Start is designed to educate building workers about HIV transmission. The show was produced under the Art and Working Life program of the Australia Council initiated by the Construction Forestry Mining Energy Union (CFMEU) (BWIU Division)." | |||||||||||||||||||
