Monologue of a sock or What would we have told the children? is a lecture performance born from the ashes of a doomed production for children and adults. Somewhere between memory and make-believe, three voices lead the audience through stories of animals and childhood, hierarchies and homes, and the quiet comedy of trying and failing. With a mixture of storytelling, moving image, and the occasional threadbare puppet, this performance is not quite theatre, not quite a lecture. Absurd, touching, and gently anarchic, this is a piece about what remains when plans unravel, and the unexpected stories that then might emerge – and for the sock puppet left behind.
The free, English-language performance will take place on Sunday, July 20 from 5pm-6pm. Registration is open here.
