This piece reworked Postscript for the stage. With an imaginative use of objects and an unconventional approach to storytelling, it explored the deep recesses of our collective unconscious. This strongly visual piece borrowed heavily from cinematic language.

Our investigation into the roles played by the audience focused on Roland Barthes’ paradigm of the audience/reader as author and their agency in the construction of meaning. When brief fragments of performance are stripped of context and supporting narrative structures, what life do they have of their own? How will the audience read them and navigate the myriad of interpretations?
