Oedipus Schmoedipus

Hong Kong International Black Box Festival 2018

Description

Description

Oedipus Schmoedipus is a joyful, dark, irreverent, hilarious and confronting performance about death: real death, fake death, and death as portrayed in world’s great theatre classics.

Resurrecting multiple murders andsuicides, Zoë Coombs Marr and Mish Grigor – from the provocative Australian collective post – pile up classic dramatic death scenes into an accessible, fun-filled, engaging new spectacle with plenty of blood and gore. For each performance’s mammoth bloodbath, the two artists benlist HKRep actors ManMan Kwok and Man Sui Hing and a cast of 25 local volunteers to join them in the comic lament and slaughter. Straddling live art, theatre and contemporary performance, Oedipus Schmoedipus has had audiences around the world in stitches and in tears. Cunningly and cleverly carried off, Oedipus Schmoedipus is a democratic theatrical extravaganza 2,500 years in the making.
