Questions for John

A work in progress from Complicité Artistic Director Simon McBurney. 

Why is it so easy for us to look away? 

How did we get here? What have we allowed to happen? What might we still change?

Questions for John is a gathering of unresolved fragments, memories and stories. Central to the piece is a simple act; the asking of questions in a time of uncertainty.

The work of Complicité collaborator John Berger – writer, critic, storyteller, and one of the most quietly political voices of the last century – speaks directly to the ecological, spiritual and existential crises we face with clarity and compassion.

This is about what we’re at risk of forgetting – and what we must fight to remember.

One-night-only. Nothing finished. Everything still to ask.
