Great Disappointment of Santa Muerta, The

Synopsis:
The Great Disappointment of Santa Muerta was given a work-in-progress showing for REVEAL, a season of new works from emerging artists associated with the National Theatre of Scotland held at the Citizens Theatre in May this year. In an unusual combination of puppetry and stand-up comedy this darkly humorous piece follows Amandas bleak but enlightening experience rehearsing and finally playing the role of a lifetime: the Saint of Death.

Poke

Synopsis:
In a vain contest for authority, two women enslave the living world in a parade of individual power and dominance. Like goddesses of the ancient world they conjure and control nature, confident of their own supremacy. But their fantasy of power is undermined by the reality of their collapsing world  forcing the women to reconcile, or die. . .Amanda Monfrooe presents this darkly humorous allegory, using puppets, music and performance to tell the story of two women trying to take control of the world - and inevitably destroying it. . .Playing with the parallel between the escalating sexual violence and continued destruction of the environment which has marked the first decade of the 21st century, this brand new work witnesses a battle of power between two goddesses of the natural world, both using their different powers to try and dominate the other.
