What's Wrong With The World?
Action from the stage of the Oi Futuro theatre in Rio de Janeiro interacted with events in the streets outside and an apartment over the road, and the theatre bar in the Soho Theatre, London. Drinkers in the bar mixed with the London public coming and going while seeing, listening to, events in Brazil, while the actors mixed together backstage, whereabouts variable. Taxis arrive and depart, disgorging and swallowing people; events in the street seen through the windows merge together. The stories going back and forth form a single vibrating narrative of distance, delay, loss and discovery.
