Via Negativa

A Staged Reading

Written by Noorca Marendra Massardi, translation by Cobina Gillitt and Evan Winet

Directed by Chloe Jones and Cole McKenna

Our journey will now begin.

Here is our protagonist: ordinary, plain, simple, conventional. As is with all of God’s other recent creations, this one has been created especially as means of entertainment.

Written in the context of Suharto's 31 year dictatorship, Via Negativa is a strange and satirical exploration of hierarchy, patriarchy, and religion. It is a meeting point of bureaucracy, philosophy, and theology.

Date: April 2, 7pm

Venue: The Playroom, Union Building
