Book tickets
A high impact, low-tech exploration of the force and grip of intense mood.
Text-free visual theatre with live music, Obvious Unrest explores the effects of intense depression, a place where nothing matters.
The piece, written by Faux Theatre's Artistic Director Francisca Morton, and performed by Ana Almeida, dives into a silent dialogue about a life spiralling out of control using nothing more than guile, wit and a sheet of polythene.
This work-in-progress presentation is a further development of an initial creative experiment performed at a Snapshots event during manipulate 2018.
Audience reviews from Snapshots event at Manipulate 2018:
Fast-paced and interactive this piece throws up concern about the see-sawing of emotion and fragility of mood, not least how she will prevent herself from suffocating under a thin film of her own melancholy (and plastic.) To a mesmeric acoustic guitar score by Dave BeMac, Morton compels us with deft touch, comic timing and dramatic assurance. Deadline News
