Description "Entr'acte has created a rich mix of ideas, images, soundscapes, words and movement in its exploration of the two concepts which form the show's title.....from power and freedom to love and evil…..this is no simplistic enactment of basic definitions but a multi-layered, metaphysical distillation of thoughts and actions….” Jill Sykes, SMH
“Entr’acte has established itself as one of the most respected collectives of actors, writers, composers, directors, dancers and professional artists, not just in Australia but on an international scale”, 3D World.
For anybody who attends the theatre on a regular basis, this production is a refreshing reminder that there is so….so much more to theatre!
This is far from a conventional theatre piece. It has not obvious plot, nor characters with given names or direction. …P/D wrestles with the two opposing concepts that give the production its title. From being possessed or dispossessed by spirit, by evil, by God, by madness.
The set was magnificent….The music was haunting…..” On the Street.
