THREE PLACES
Three Places is a work inspired by João Guimarães Rosa’s short stories The Audacious
Mariner and Soroco. The work is about a man and a woman endeavouring to maintain
their equilibrium. They conjure flights of the imagination, creating another world, a place
that lies between their experiences and themselves.
Directed by Simon Rice
Performed by Ilana Gorban and Simon Rice
