The Empire's New Clothes
In The Empire’s New Clothes Synaesthetic Theatre undresses "The Emperor's New Clothes" to expose the fairy tale's relevance within the current cultural and political climate. Secrets, confessions, fear and apathy woven into Hans Christian Andersen's text are unraveled and patched together in a series of absurd, disparate yet connected vignettes. For those who suspect they're being fooled and those who are fooling themselves, it's Fashion Week in the land of once upon a time.
