i-witness

Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

This dark, funny piece sees a quartet of performers appeal to the audience to see things their way as they wrestle with a remarkable book that has both troubled and inspired them. i–witness is based on The Rings of Saturn by WG Sebald. It's an intimate, powerful and direct performance in which the audience can see, feel and even smell the workings of the show. The cast combines technical excellence in acting and dance with boldness, risk and imaginative flair to create a visually and emotionally arresting experience. i–witness uses stringent theatrical discipline to achieve authentic, technically simple but powerful performance.
