Symptomes

Powerful and poetic, Symptomes, is a deeply moving threnody

inspired by the horrific aftermath of 9/11. Adopting the heightened

prose of epic Greek tragedy the play inventively explores and

deconstructs the ideologies underlying the 'war on terror' that we

currently face. Shocking, heartbreaking and poignant, Symptomes is a parable of our times.



In 2005, a staged reading was shown to great acclaim at the Opera

Bastille in Paris for a 9/11 memorial. Robert Wilson, the controversial

and internationally acclaimed director greatly revered in the world of

experimental theatre, will create his debut theatrical production in

Poland with this play.



The play will premiere at Warsaw's National Theatre, Teatr Dramatyczny on 27 November 2007 and is due to tour internationally.
