(self)assembly at the BAC, 10th October 2006
There isn't much that can be said about this without spoiling all of the magic. So I will have to confine myself to superlatives.
It was the most interesting thing I have seen since The Shunt Collective's Amato Saltone and Tropicana. It did even more with the audience, it was even more of an adventure, it was even less of a "play" with a story and characters and resolution - but the drama was there. If you like experimental theatre, if you like uncertainty and discovery, you MUST go and see this.
(self)assembly
I am in awe at the way the company retained control whilst allowing the illusion of freedom. I am curious as to what else could have happened had we been a different audience. If you can, engage in the email dialog before the show; it helps, I think, though it doesn't matter if you don't.
