Trickle Down Effect

4 - 7 October

A selection of plays by Daniel Keene/ some texts by Heiner Muller
A remix directed by Christopher Ryan.

There is a beautiful sense of the prosaic in Daniel Keene’s writing that silently opens up like a fault line without the earthquake, a suture dissolving too soon for the scare tissue to hold the wound. His writing exposes the dignity of ordinary people in the tragedy of everyday life.   

The question we would like to pose is:

"To whom are we playing?"
To the gods or to an existential nothingness?
We live in a very successful nation, the fear of terrorism is nothing compared to the everyday fear of poverty that we all harbour.
