An uninhibited and subversive vision of a world ripped apart by metaphysical disaster, animalistic urges, plague and infestation. A vicious, surreal modern creation myth, and a commentary on the baseness of the human experience.
This radical new interpretation of Artaud’s ‘unstageable’ play was developed in a collaborative creation process by Theatre Encounter’s experimental research branch, the Baader Meinhof Collective, and played to a sold out run.
