Sensual, strange, unsettling, gender fluid and inspired by the tales of Edgar Allen Poe.
This production takes Poe’s idea that the seeds of our own destruction lie in ourselves: so the ‘Beast’ is our guilt at our sexual orientation, our age, race, gender, looks and past actions. The ‘Beast’ also represents our own genitalia.
