Content warning [May contain spoilers]
‘What good is theory? What good is an idea without the smallest inkling of relief?’
Raymond, an unemployed and vaguely paranoid man, is commissioned to write a manifesto for the suspiciously corporeal ghost of Russian politician Pavel Milyukov, founder of the Constitutional Democratic Party. Hijinks ensue. Love might just be in the air.
Weird, ominous, and oddly jolly, PERIPETEIA invites the audience to believe, if only for a moment, in ghosts, supercomputers, and the possibility of utopia.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
