—————
“Four performers battle each other inside a series of giant sculptural machines, hoping to discover the proof of free will.
Using slam poetry and demanding physical agility, the performers make their arguments from within the body of the machines – simultaneously asking; are we in control or being controlled? Trapper investigates the complex relationship humans have with the systems we embrace, inhabit and fight against.
Created by Christian Leavesley and Jolyon James with writings by playwright Angus Cerini and poet Emilie Zoey Baker, Trapper is aimed at young adults (14+).” – Arena Theatre Company
