DIE: or an extended metaphor was performed as part of An Evening of Work by Salvador Kent on 4.5.2022.
“Ah! The Virgin! That’s what he was looking for!”
~From Jet of Blood by Antonin Artaud
A figure rolls six dice onto a table. Two Pierrots in pinstripe suits walk in and wonder what to do. They lose track of time. They play a card game. They wonder what to do. And so on…
DIE: or an extended metaphor is a play exploring what it is to create, live and struggle. Equally inspired by absurdism, surrealism, and melodrama, blending the mundane and the mystical in a nightmarish fever dream, filled with potent imagery.
