Fando And Lis
A man pushes a pram across a desolate landscape. Inside the pram, is Lover. Bound together by mutual need and passion, they travel towards an unattainable goal. By turns violent, lyrical and blackly comic, Arrabel's neglected Absurdist masterpiece examines what love can become when hope is destroyed. . .And who are the three men with the umbrella?
