cast size:5
synopsis: Part parody, part tragedy, absurd and very funny Moments of Madness is a fictional conference concerned with the affairs of an emerging nation at the dawn of a new era. Moments of Madness presents us with five characters; a lost executive, cornered consultant, small-time actor, failed academic and ecstatic spin-doctor meet to discuss art, culture and the state. All proceeds according to plan until a stranger arrives and time itself begins to slip out of grasp. Bells are rung, reality collapses… Moments of Madness draws its inspiration from the creators of "anti-theatre" especially the Romanian/French writer Eugene Ionesco and his notions of theatre as the revelation of the monstrous and the communication of incommunicable realities. The show is directed by Fern Smith with choreography by Helen Bailey of Ersatz Dance and design by Andrew Jones. |
