Apologetics

2010

Apologetics is a play for musicians, a duet for harp and bass clarinet set for stage. Set in an un-named war zone, the characters have become trapped within their bodies as an asylum from trauma. As they struggle to make sense of the landscape, they slowly regain the ability to move and make sounds.

premiered in the Barbican Pit Theatre
