Production details
This double bill brings together two playful and thought-provoking works that suggest theatre takes place as much in the minds of spectators as it does on stage. Based on an accident that took place at La Scala, Italy, in 1913, Quartet presents four basic components - movements, objects, music, and words - performed in isolation, one after the other, inviting the audience to imagine and piece together the solo performance. In Count Two six performers playfully depict a series of recognisable actions and images within a shifting spectacular framework. Through replication, repetition and re-categorisation, the values we might associate with these moments are unsettled in a lively process of evoking and shifting meaning.
