2 July 2013. The drowned man



A NT sponsored event by Punchdrunk. We entered a huge disused post office by Paddington Station. In subdued lighting one is left to decide where to go on the extensive three floors. Action takes place throughout but spasmodically. So one is left having to decide whether to try and follow particular actors or move around dipping in and out. I found it really interesting seeing the feelings it provoked and watching how different people responded. For example, when one is somewhere, there is the wondering of what one is missing elsewhere. There is the not really knowing the totality of the space or the action and having to accept that. Some people charged around not wanting to miss a thing; others were more relaxed.
