physical theater

Toying with the detective fiction genre with a bizarre twist, the Postmortem series traces the investigations by a detective duo within a black-and-white cityscape as they roam in search of a mystery among vast memories and existential oblivion. Inspired by absurdist theatre, Roberto Bolaño's "detective" poems from The Romantic Dogs, and the streets of San Francisco, these performances visualize a post-apocalyptic world at the convergence of abstraction and mundanity. Postmortem II reimagines and rearranges the scenario of the previous Postmortem show, continuing the themes with more unexpected elements: love, robots, and dinosaurs.

Directed by Sid Zhang. Featuring Anna Mistele, Sharon Wambu, Isabella Terrazas, and Sam Petersen.
