THE CHORUS (Upstart Theatre, UK)

Eleven citizens of Birmingham are locked in their homes, watching the news from a distance as the world transforms around them. The Chorus, a piece of audio performance created by, with and for the local community, brings together found text, personal reflections and new music to ask what we can do to make change, and whether we can ever really be on the right side of history.

PROTEUS (Theater am Lend, Austria)

Proteus is a new play, inspired by the mysterious lost part of the Oresteia. Together with a Chorus of senior citizens, our theatremakers found a lost part of the puzzle – a satyr play. Proteus creates a connection between the past, present and future, both socially and personally, with results that are humorous, sad and touching. This film version places the Chorus within the landscape of Graz and its surrounding area, creating texts and stories that seem to come from the land itself.
