THE OEDIPUS PROJECT
A meditation on the Myth of Oedipus
In the intimacy of the Cattle Depot Art Village’s Unit 12 performing space Theatre du Pif’s journey into the Myth of Oedipus is an immersive theatrical event that explores through movement, sound, music and storytelling, the themes of inescapable fate, violence, suffering, memory, empathy and compassion.
Critic
“Theatre du Pif creates a dialogue with the original text. Instead of directly enacting the play, they explore the essences or motifs of the text, so as to create a marvelous interflow. The company does not aim at going beyond the texts, but to bring the texts to the audiences, leading to a convergence. As audiences, we witnessed a flower of spring blooms on the sands.”
