Synopsis:

Written in 1921 by the Čapek brothers, The Insect Play is a masterful fantastic farce in which an inebriated drifter, disgusted with humanity, wanders into the forest, and observes the lives of the insects around him. He looks upon, and occasionally interacts with, militaristic ants, philosophising moths, slick parasites, and obsessed beetles.

An immediate hit on Broadway soon after it was published, the play is an allegorical commentary on society and totalitarianism. Through its disguise in comedy and elaborate staging designs, The Insect Play relates the themes of life and death, morals and morality that still resonates today.

Epiphany's take on the The Insect Play will harmonise an industrial set-design with an immersive soundscape consisting of digital and live music.
