How does the brain create a sense of self? This work is a poetic journey into the science of the mind. A philosopher watches as his wife's brain tumour changes her personality. Ego theory and bundle theory collide in a struggle to define identity. It is an expose of the illusion of self.
In this collection of seven provocative essays, acclaimed theater director and playwright Mick Gordon argues that the theater represents a physical corollary of the invisible workings of our minds. Gordon draws upon his five years of experience working with leading neurologists and cognitive psychologists.
Following their acclaimed shows On Ego, On Religion, On Emotion, and On Love, the On Theatre now tackle empathy. When Bea asks something of her mother that no parent would want to be asked, and of her only friend "Not Gay Ray," they are both forced to challenge the boundaries of their own compassion.
Inspired by -Intimate Death- by Marie de Hennezel
How did we get here and what might lie ahead? Join Charlie and his dog Fitz as they jump on board a roller coaster that will send you back in time, from the beginnings of life, through dinosaurs to DNA, and on into the future.
Written by international award-winning director Mick Gordon, this drama of passion and prejudice takes us to the heart of one family's struggle to define home. Also features songs and lyrics from iconic musician and writer Billy Bragg, who writes from a socialist rather than a jingoistic perspective of identity.
