‘Eight’ - 2023
Set against the haunting aftermath of the first US nuclear tests on Bikini, an atoll in The Marshall Islands, our story unfolds almost a century later amidst the chaos of WWIII in 2043. Tragedy strikes as a group of women and children, fleeing to the safety of the underground British Commune in Okinawa, Japan, meets a devastating fate.
Based on the characters from William Golding's timeless tale, we plunge into a harrowing psychological odyssey with Ralph, Piggy, and the forsaken boys. While maintaining the essence of the beloved narrative, this production delves deeper, exploring the intricacies of friendship amid tumultuous growing pains. The performance intertwines enigmatic movement sequences within a visceral, immersive setting.
