An Apology for Losers
An interrogation of the self and the audience to call out guilt, rage and the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the world’s many problems. The 30-minute performance blends different forms of speech situations like lectures, public confessions, trials, religious prayers and even an attempt at Catholic exorcism. By calling forth the energetic archetypes of the victim, the hypocrite, the murderer, and the judge, the performer navigates a world of tension where these forces will either cooperate peacefully or slide into war.
