A collision of Gertrude Stein’s ‘Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights’ and Fritz Lang’s first talking movie ‘M’, inspired by the Wooster Group’s ‘House/Lights’, this production explores the dark edge of human psychology. Our clash of text, physical performance, sound and film will keep you on the edge of your seats – the knife edge!
We invite you to ‘FEAST’, an immersive, contemporary performance exploring food and the notions of consumption, feasting and festivity.

This new work with songs is a contemporary adaptation of Euripides' quintessential Greek tragedy. Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre, takes terrible revenge on a city for defying his will, and leads his followers in rebellion against its authoritarian, patriarchal rule. Dionysus brings revolution and freedom - but also blurs the lines between pleasure, intoxication, madness and violence as the social order crumbles.
