Embodied Theatre: explore theatre makers NMT Automatics and classicist Jon Heskers creation process questioning the role of ancient battle narratives in modern perceptions of war.
Inspired by Homers Iliad, with its tales of Troy, of heartbreak and of devastation, NMT Automatics, in collaboration with CPUGRD, present: Tempus Fugit. Fusing myth and modern experience, we explore the effects of trauma and war; asking the questions: how and why do we tell battle narratives, and how do they affect our perception of warfare and the roles of soldiers and their partners, both present and past?
In this workshop we unpick the processes that combine movement, mask, music, text, and academic research to create relevant and vital work
