Brown: 7.30 - 8.30 pm, Concert Hall
“Someone is knocking at the door. It is still early. Too early. I’m scared.” You are living a fine life, enjoying the sunshine with your friends and family, when, all too quickly things start to change …
‘Brown’ is a short story by the French writer, Franck Pavloff. The story is a satire, written in 1998, as a warning about the dangers of fascism and prejudice. It was written as a response to the rise of the far right in France under the leadership of Jean-Marie Le Pen. Our version of ‘Brown’ is inspired by this wonderful short story and includes physical theatre, puppetry and the actor’s own writing as well as the poetry of Pablo Neruda, Theodore Roethke and verbatim quotes from survivors. In this time of conflict, it is a heartfelt cry for peace in the world.
Stage Combat Show: 8.30- 8.45pm (Follows straight after Brown), Concert Hall
We are the watchers, our bequeathed task to witness; to intervene not, to interfere not. I will rise. Will you rise with me? I will rise. I will rise. I will rise.
Expect an explosion of energy and intensity with this armed stage combat performance.
