I seem to attract the weird ones in public places
Set in an airport transit lounge, halfway between heaven and hell, The Dissolving Self depicted a purgatory we all know. This new work contemplated the wanderlust of the soul and our eternal quest to both find and obliterate ourselves. Using Ibsen's Peer Gynt as a launch pad, the show was devised by a company of third year NIDA students, led by director Chris Drummond with writer Susan Rogers and musician Tom Hogan.
