AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Set against the backdrop of catastrophic bushfires, Anthropocene Play Company’s Ignis follows ten people as they navigate the thrills and dangers of intimacy in modern Australia. A PHD student visits a sex worker, a high-level politician cultivates his protege, two old school friends unpack a complicated history...

'Based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 19th century play La Ronde – banned at the time of its writing for indecency – this modern Australian adaptation unfolds live in guest suites at the Toorak Manor Hotel. Audiences of only 12 per show will find themselves up close and personal with the world of the play: actually led from room to room by the characters themselves.'
