IMPETUS Interdisciplinary Works

THE BEAST

Big Secret Theatre - January 14 to 18

From Calgary

ImpetusWhat motivates this creature that is running amok in the world?

Angry and disillusioned, three representational characters confront a world beset by greed, injustice and brutality. To understand the destructive mechanisms and consequences of the human beast, they seek answers by revisiting one woman’s immortal origins, yet learn that those answers only inhabit the darkest places. The highly interdisciplinary IMPETUS collective promises a brisk interchange of raw stage performance and new media technologies, as well as a deft exploration of the relationship between a personal world of emotion and thought, and a societal world of cold facts and machines.
