Oh Substance
A scientist stands on the verge of discovery, Sisyphus pushes his boulder, and
a little boy gazes at the moon, wondering where the stars have gone.
What
do we do when we're stuck in the mud and can't get out?
What if it's
our own fault we're stuck?
Is the mud pulling us down, or do we
secretly just want to wallow?
Ezra plays with physical theatre,
clown and prose to puzzle over how to make meaning from an otherwise
chaotic and messy world. Oh Substance navigates the fine line between
hope, despair, ambition and failure - a glorious mess of exuberance,
crushed dreams, and unending frustration.
Stories begin distinct
and separate, but as the show progresses and their journeys unfold, the
boundaries between them begin to blur. A strange fixation with a
mysterious golden liquid draws them all together, weaving a frantic
tapestry of intertwined stories with the search for 'substance' at its
centre.
"The performance remains engaging and his script is
clever, entwining the separate narratives so they become almost seamless."
