Moving Target

By Marius von Mayenburg

12 March 2008 – 29 March 2008 Beckett Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

Commission Theatre Physical Theatre Co-Production

Six people wait in a non-descript room: dirty walls, an old carpet, a sofa, a small table, a few chairs, a sleeping bag. Without warning, someone walks to the corner and counts to 100. The room is ripped apart and turned inside out as the others desperately try to disappear. Hide and Seek, like theatre, is concerned with appearance and disappearance, with becoming strange for a time, with metamorphosis. It taps into archaic terrors of being found or forgotten, of being hunted, of trying to escape.

This production followed a season at the Odeon Theatre, Norwood (South Australia), 28 February - 8 March.
