Compagnie Dakar/ Lotte van den Berg

In this haunting performance, the audience watches from afar, as 9 figures wander through a desolate landscape.

Compagnie Dakar stages their performances in unprecedented places.  Sometimes giving the audience a fly-on-the-wall’s perspective to a private domestic event, and other times placing the action so far away that you can’t hear the performers, this distinctive form of theatre is intensely effecting.  Often based on documentary material, Dakar’s productions challenge some of our most basic assumptions about the way we live.


Presented in association with Performance Space 122.
