Description |
A race through the Yahi desert to secure oil reserves by money-hungry merchants results in the death of an exploited worker. When the worker's family try to claim compensation, the legal system's prejudices towards the privileged classes are exposed.
Brecht's comment that 'art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it', is the starting point for this new production of The Exception and The Rule. This radical interpretation of Brecht's play includes a range of contemporary performance techniques exploring how Brecht's work can be staged with relevance. |
