FAUST

I went to see the most amazing performing arts production of FAUST.

It was by a group called Punchdrunk (see links) and performed in a derelict warehouse in Wapping....yes....derelict....

Wapping.

Atmospheric, creepy, mindblowing experience.

Search and find, decide where to go next, whats happening with whom and down which pitch black, ghost train corridor. All members of the audience wore scream type masks so if you saw someone lurking somewhere you could immediately tell whether or not they were cast or audience. Obviously no seats.All walking or creeping around with just nightlights in rows to show you the way.to where????

It was magnificent.I have been to each of the previous two perfomances and they never cease to amaze and thrill. The only trouble was

the goddamn masks literally

dripped with sweat so they werent too comfortable.And, try getting home from Wapping by public transport very late on a Friday night.No joke.

Definitely outside most peoples comfort zone, physically and mentally.But it was so worth it.Check out the link.
