The world has ended, it’s a desolate wasteland of scorched earth and damaged relics with memories of the past. Few survivors remain, in small camps battling the sandstorms and acid rain. In these ruins three lost souls are caught in a stand-off. How did they get here? And how will this end? All we know is one is holding a banana, another a lightbulb, and the last a fork. It may look like mad max outside, but in here life persists in light of the calamity. Will we make it through the night?
Join BrainSoup Collective as they explore these Thresholds through movement, music, clowning and voice. After a sold out R&D residency sharing at Alphabetti Theatre in February 2024, and following their debut at Durham Fringe Festival 2023 with ‘Ashtray’, this work looks to further refine the surrealist theatre the company is known for, and the creative fusion they inject into their productions. It certainly won’t be what you expect, in a good way.
“This is one of the best little plays I ever did see. Thoughtful, surreal and hilarious”
“Really good balance of fun/thought provoking”
“Hilariously random”
“It is a piece that I can only describe as ‘thinking outside the box’-loved it”
“Having everything feel so erratic and random and come together cleanly was brilliantly executed”
“Could’ve watched more!!!”
“The comedy-brilliant"
