Boundaries 3: The House Next Door Just Fell Down
T0
A day of performed readings of cutting-edge contemporary plays from Albania and Macedonia. The Boundaries year at the Traverse looks at the many changing boundaries of the 21st century by hearing the plays emerging from our new and old worlds, and meeting with their authors to discuss their influences. How long can you live next door to a conflict and remain free of its dust? Up till now theatres have mostly shown plays emerging from the nations directly involved in the Balkan wars. The Traverse now offers a chance to experience more unknown territory: the newest work from playwrights working our of those nations just over the borders.
