AN AIRPORT, A HOTEL ROOM, A BATHTUB, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, A STORM, NO... A TEMPEST, THE TEMPEST, A CAMERA, AN AUDIENCE, A THEATRE, DISPLACEMENT.
'DISPLACEMENT', is a new work that explores themes of transience, obsession and Shakespeare. It frames sits somewhere between 'The Tempest', 'The house of The Rising Sun', 'Blow Up', Voltaire's 'Candide' and several other 'texts' throughout history. However, don't be scared when you hear the word 'Shakespeare'. THIS PERFORMANCE IS IN NO WAY A SHAKESPEARE ADAPTATION!! These things just become one of the many springboards in a process of decontextualising and reimagining. This is a piece about Displacement, in every sense of the word. Drawing upon our range of cultural backgrounds and experiences, we explore what displacement really means in several contexts, particularly through the lens of displaced people in Syria and across the world.
This is a live music performance, it is a lecture, a presentation, a piece of drama, of contemporary theatre, of performance art and film.
Thank you for allowing artists to take creative risks, the world needs it now more than ever.
