Details

Atrophy is a play that interlaces the stories of 4 Hunger Strikers, to explore the protest, politics, legacy and and effects of their actions. It foregrounds the World Medical Association declaration on hunger strikers rights and medical management, and how this is being systematically sidelined by Guantanamo today. It weaves the real-life stories of ALICE PAUL (USA - 1885), BARGHAT SINGH (India - 1907), FRANK STAGG (Ireland - 1976) and GITMO into a twisted, enveloping dialogue about the right to protest and raises the issues surrounding force feeding - something that still happens.
