Fantastic it is
Fantastic it is
Performers gather to create an onstage society in various structures, shapes and forms. Holding both grandiose and mundane, beautiful and ugly, bold and shameful, they’re trying to be seen and heard. Masking the self while spilling their guts out. The work examines the internal and external complexities and common emotions of collective existence, zooms in on questions of belonging and individualism, and questions structural power dynamics; what they serve and what exists within them.
