Synaesthetic Theatre undresses The Emperor's New Clothes to reveal the fairy tale's relevance in the face of the current global political climate. The 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 that strip away story and unveil substance. |

Part burlesque, part performance art, Dystopia is an evening of image-driven and often surreal 'acts' which combine spectacle, satire and social commentary. Themes are drawn from classic examples of 'dystopian' literature -- including George Orwells's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Yevgeny Zamyatin's We and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 - combined with the news and events unfolding in the US and larger world. |
