DESCRIPTION

A visually stunning multimedia theater piece, 'work created under compulsion' follows the journeys of artists and workers who have been forced to create in order to survive. Inspired by the Thousand and One Nights heroine Scheherazade, forced to weave stories, the play incorporates video, movement and personal histories that explore the memories that live with us forever. Adding another layer of complexity, the play includes imagistic sequences that are projected directly onto performers bodies and costume pieces. The movement requires intricate choreography that is synchronized to the video projection. The production features metal and wood sculptures that are worn and manipulated by the actors. work created under compulsion questions the ambiguity of identity and the fragility of memory.
