Opera, rock, dance, poetic text, dance. A meditation on our modern era.
Following on from the huge success of Mark Fleishman’s Oedipus at Colonus #aftersophocles (nominated for 8 Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards with the chorus winning for Best Ensemble), Magnet Theatre brings you another powerful investigation of our current moment.
Meat, fire, metal and plastic. What will come to define this modern era? As humankind moves closer towards the end of the Anthropocene, and the beginning of the Plasticine, will we be remembered for our ingenuity or for having engineered our destruction?
