Underground

Underground

Work:: Underground (S0521760424)


Production:: (T332167148)

Part of the Young Genius Season. With support from Arts Council England. Presented in partnership with The Open University. Underground is a new creation inspired by Crime and Punishment. Dostoyevsky's most famous novel centres on Raskolnikov, an impoverished student, who commits a gruesome murder, then experiences a living nightmare in a desperate search for redemption. Underground recreates the feverish, dreamlike atmosphere of Dostoyevsky's world by luring you through basement spaces of the Old Abattoir in Clerkenwell. This 15,000 square feet of industrial underworld is a labyrinthine of interconnecting chambers. Once inside, you have the freedom to follow a character or narrative thread, or simply to wander through the maze. Here scenes, film images and chance encounters will merge, transform and dissolve before you like a constantly shifting hallucinatory dream.
