The Desk

Past event at Summerhall

Wed 31 Jul

Entry from £5

One teacher. Five students. Five desks. A powerfully compelling show about dogma. Director Reetta Honkakoski mines her personal lived experience of a cult in this meticulous ensemble piece about the seductive power of discipline, hierarchy, mind control and the search for an ultimate truth. Praised by audiences and critics alike for their mastery of physical expression, the Finnish company exposes the universal mechanics of power in political and spiritual cults. Expect sharp, strong and poignant ensemble work. 'Worthy of high praise' (Huvudstadsbladet). www.eng.reettahonkakoski.com
