Description
BOOK OF EXODUS PART II18 - 29 October, 2017
Theatre Works, St Kilda
A mass of children wait in the desert. With no leader to guide them, and no one to answer their cries, they summon an unruly force.
Performed by an ensemble of children aged 8 – 13, BOOK OF EXODUS PART II traces a community propelled from a violent past into an uncertain future.
Known for their bold, visually explosive theatre-making, Fraught Outfit’s BOOK OF EXODUS is a radical, poetic response to an ancient narrative of plagues and miracles, violence and division, punishment and liberation, the drowned and the saved.
Inspired by the biblical text, BOOK OF EXODUS is the final installment in Fraught Outfit’s Innocence Trilogy, including the radical, acclaimed production ON THE BODILY EDUCATION OF YOUNG GIRLS (MTC, Neon Festival 2013 in association with St Martins Youth Arts Centre) and the unnerving, surreal teen drama THE BACCHAE (Melbourne Festival 2015, Dark Mofo 2016).
