Trunk April 9, 2010

How is trauma transmitted through time and blood?

Seeking revenge for years of abuse, Holick locks himself inside the physical manifestation of the trauma his father suffered during the Second World War. As his father’s psychosis becomes more dangerous, Holick becomes trapped in a phantasmagorical nightmare.

A story about personal catastrophe and communal redemption, Trunk, is written and directed by Jeremy Waller (director of last year’s controversial smash hit, Biographies of the Dead & Dying).

Trunk will transform Box Studios into an unhinged Alice in Wonderland world, totally immersing the audience in a site-specific location of the sub-conscious. The set, designed by Edith Artner and lit by Kyla Gardiner, will be constructed largely from moving scaffolding, giving Trunk a dynamic of height and depth to support Waller’s compelling, visual imagination. The production also features original music and soundscore by David Meshia.

Trunk is sexy, violent theatre that turns over the hard packed earth of our waking states and in the process examines the deepest secrets we carry.

Trunk features Luisa Jojic, Kathleen Pollard, Jordan Bodiguel, and Simon Driver; original music and sound design by David Mesiha; lighting design by Kyla Gardiner; set design by Edith Artner; projection design by Majid Bagheri.
