BY CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS PRODUCTIONS · RICH MIX THEATRE · JULY 2016

“‘Looks beyond the usual definitions of diverse artistic practice....and diverse creativity which is not directed or told but given freedom to express itself.’”

Clive Lyttle, Artistic Director Certain Blacks Art Ensemble Festival

CONUNDRUM

After emerging from a near death experience Fidel embarks upon a life review to try to make some sense of his life. But despite possessing an exceptional IQ we discover that Fidel has spent most of his life drifting between careers and enduring long periods of silence. It is during one of his self-imposed silences that Fidel identifies where his greatest battle for self-worth, lies.

Lured initially into critiquing society Fidel soon discovers that he has also been complicit in engineering his own demise. Perplexed by this conundrum Fidel takes us on an epic journey of self-discovery which, reflects our own personal struggles and conflicts. However, Fidel’s preferred resolution for overcoming his demons is part of an alarming twist which either makes us the agents of his renaissance or accomplices of his ultimate demise.
