LAVA DRAFT 1.jpg

Three men and a woman gather around a long table intent on achieving an ecstatic state of mind known as CATEGORY THREE.

Lava explores the contradictions of human consciousness and language through the eyes of four characters each searching for meaning with a frenetic and growing sense of urgency.

A spectacle of nightmarish characters, bizarre objects, tarantellan dances, and hallucinatory tableaux; a terriyfying hall of mirrors - theatrical reflections of the inner reality of self and of language - through which the actor and the audience must pass.
