Project ColonyProject Colony
Synopsis:
A twist on Franz Kafka's In the Penal Colony. the audience meets at a designated pick up point to partake in this unusual twist on the story of an elaborate torture and execution device. they are then escorted to a 1950s era colonised holiday camp where a travelling salesman has been invited to witness the execution of a condemned prisoner on a tropical island by the machine. Kafka's story is a complex hall of mirrors. Is this a brutal murder or a sacred tradition that's being eroded by modernity? When is it right to step in? As two children mourn their Father a society hangs in the balance; they wait on the word of a foreigner to decide their fate. the audience is exposed to life on the island from both sides of the coin before returning to their pick up point
