SOOTHSAYERS

by Mark Rogers

A Bodysnatchers Production
Brisbane Festival, Under the Radar, 2012

A production in three acts, Soothsayers takes us across borders, war-zones and flooded cities where change is inevitable and trust is scarce.

Responding to catastrophic global events, each act is set in the shocked aftermath of a crisis. It examines the capacity for human action in the face of huge social unrest and upheaval. All played out on a bare and make-shift set that recalls the temporary shelters of Fukushima, New Orleans and Brisbane post-flooding.

Lyrical and brutal, this is an uncompromising new play that tackles massive global shifts.

Director: Sanja Simić
