? ANNOUNCEMENT ?The Asia Pacific premiere of Richard Foreman's 1972 play, SOPHIA=(WISDOM): Part 3 The Cliffs will take place at New Theatre, Sydney from 10 - 27 January 2024. Tickets on-sale soon.
Rhoda, a local artist in Potatoland, is struggling to keep her relationship with her husband Max interesting. In a nightmarish dreamscape, she conjures replica versions of themselves, inviting them into their home through the spiritual invocation of Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom. When this second Rhoda and this second Max enter their cliffside home, Rhoda is forced to decide between whether to confront or to flee the mayhem she has introduced. Only the abominable snowman and a group of factory workers stand in the way of her escape.
Part dada, slapstick comedy; part philosophical vaudeville interrogation into the human psyche and fully a production of the true avant-garde. The play throws its five misfit central characters into an opulent madcap world of gang violence, sexual awakening and human eroticism refracted through a lens of adolescent self-imposed isolation.
