Ether Frolics

Ether FrolicsT0
Drugs have power. They can do almost anything to a functioning mind and body. Over the last fifteen years there has been a coalition between neuroscientists, philosophers surgeons and psychologists to enquire into and understand the inner workings of the brain and what consciousness is. Ether Frolics will bring art and theatre into that enquiry, immersing its audience in a disturbingly disorientating and frequently comical journey into the history and contemporary practice of anesthesia, leading them to experience their own consciousness slipping away from them. Combining the unique aural story-telling techniques of Sound & Fury with the investigative and visual approach to performance of the Shunt collective, Ether Frolics will explore how major scientific discoveries are made by accident, reveal how routine hospital procedures may be part of an ongoing experiment and pose the question - once you have been under the influence of anesthesia, are you ever the same again?
