Dead Cargo

The Independents 2011 Dead Cargo Co-presented by Metro Arts and Tim Dashwood & Nigel Poulton In-demand fight director and movement specialist Nigel Poulton (The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet) teams up with Tim Dashwood (FAME: The Musical, QTC’s Rabbit Hole) to conjure Dead Cargo, a highly physical new production, invoking the vision of theatre revolutionary Vseveold Meyerhold. Four strangers are locked in an off-kilter limbo. They search for forgiveness, for the end, for liberation from the depths of the past and escape from their claustrophobic confines. A contemporary absurdist work that is at turns twisted, hilarious and profound, Dead Cargo takes a comic look at a bleak world where slippery time and questionable morals make for muddy waters. If you dare to confront your own demons and desires, immerse yourself in Dead Cargo. Kick starting Metro Arts’ flagship performing arts program The Independents for 2011, tickets are on sale now.
