Description A man starts to build his own coffin but decides to turn it into a raft. The Shrink And Swell Of Knots is an energetic, optimistic, masculine solo show about struggle. Overflowing with music and ideas, practical information and poetry, transformation and grunt, this surprisingly touching piece will stay with you long after the hour is over. Created and performed by the award winning Ben Grant, the first Australian actor to collaborate with world renowned director Robert Lepage. Ben has also performed and composed for Melbourne Theatre Company, Malthouse Theatre, Belvoir Theatre Company, Bell Shakespeare Company amongst many others.
