True Story

In the work TRUE STORY by the actors and performers Jonathan Bonnici (UK) and Satya Bhabha (US), the audience is invited into a bare stage space and seated on chairs in the middle of the room, while the two performers begin their oral storytelling, involving the stage space in pre-written fictional stories. A creaking chair and the black-painted theatre auditorium turn into something else in the story. The meta level becomes a point of fascination for the audience, who, like the creaking chair and the dark stage, are drawn into the narrative as material. The audience are involved as co-creators, participants and spectators, and the boundary between stage and auditorium is dissolved, as is the boundary between fiction and reality. Satya Bhabha and Jonathan Bonnici explore the narrative as a cohesive force, while uncovering the active role that each member of the audience plays in it.

PLEASE NOTE: The performance will be in English

There will be an artist talk on stage after the second performance.
