| Description |
The five parts of TS Elliot's poem 'The Waste Land' was the source of a collectively created work, including 4 actors and 2 musicians (percussionist and violinist). Rather than dramatise the poem, they sought to 'create a collection of images, to evoke certain atmospheres, to find a collective voice in the work' that could speak for all of them so 'that in the end the words come from the Company as much as from the author'. |
