"I thoroughly enjoyed myself – probably almost as much as the cast, who tackle the dense and darkly symbolic work with the energy and playfulness of a group of neighborhood urchins playing cops and robbers" - Travalanche |

By Antonin Artaud
Translated by Cariad Shepherd
Directed by Ryan Emmons
A visceral and violent look at humanity, both funny and disturbing. Love, loss, sex, religion and violence collide, pushing the world into apocalypse. What once seemed beautiful becomes a chaotic hell.
actors, painters, musicians, choreographers, puppeteers, and designers explore violence and the power of art through Artaud's unstageable play. Truth is imminent - as are scorpions.
