Statement

A passionate and provocative event of theatre and dance, Desiderare: desire the undesirable explores the act of wanting what we don’t have and wanting those things we wish we didn’t. Critically acclaimed experimental theatre company, Live Action Set, collaborates with Robert Rosen, co-founder of the Tony Award-winning Theatre de la Jeune Lune, to create this physical new work about desire, transgression, and what happens between realization, repression, and expression. Presented by The Red Eye as part of the New Works 4 Weeks festival, with additional support from the Jerome Foundation.
