Description 'Discipline and Punish' combined physical theatre with storytelling, expressionistic dance, new music, and ultimately a scene that dismantled the entire theatre space, seats and all, as a metaphor for the breaking down of the
prison system. An attempt to dramatise Michel Foucault's 'Discipline and Punish: the Birth of the Prison'.
