         451         Artaud in Wonderland         Mary, Mother Of No Man's Land         Rasputin

451

Synopsis:
451 combines immersive sound and sensory theatre to depict a dystopic society where literature is outlawed and acts of violence are rewarded. Inspired by Ray Bradbury's visionary novel Fahrenheit 451, this incendiary outdoor performance recounts the story of a society in which books are banned and firemen are employed to burn them. Bradbury's classic text has proven prophetic, reflected in the rise of the ipad, surveillance, interactive media, the televised pursuit of fugitives, and the continuing radical power of the written word. As we witness a rise in monitoring and attacks on freedom of expression we might even believe that there could be a future where books may once again hold a secret knowledge. . .

Notes:
written by Claire Raftery and Damian Wright.

Rasputin

Synopsis:
The myths & images still surrounding the mad monk fuelled this exercise in relentless mesmerism. From his miraculous healing hands to legends of debauchery, we followed his mysterious relationship with the last Empress of Russia right up to the death throes of a dynasty. Through hypnosis we took a leap into the hearts & minds of a dying breed, into a royal world gone wrong with the workings of a revolution. Monumental Russian dolls swung like pendulums and opened up to reveal the heart of the mystery.
