All In
Organised by: M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018Performed by: ATRESBANDES
Synopsis:
So you think you're a unique individual. But are you evertruly free from the tyranny of the crowd? ATRESBANDES takes us on a wild ride in All In, blending striking visuals, physical theatre and absurdist text, to present this darkly playful exploration of the human condition. Through vignettes set in disparate worlds—incorporating dictatorships, nightclubs, national anthems, education and self-help manuals—All In offers different incarnations of how we encounter seemingly harmless systems of social control. Everyday situations take unexpected turns into the absurd and poignant, linked by the common thread of an outsider who is subjected to pressures to conform, but seeks nonetheless to assert his or her independence and freedom.
