International collaboration performance piece take takes the audience on a surreal journey through an explosive landscape of modern visual art. Six enigmatic figures emerge from the Leonardo’s famous setting and move from the world of Leonardo Da Vinci into shock waves of Manet’s ‘pornographic’ nude, the African panorama of the Cubists, Duchamp’s ‘ready-mades’ and Warhol’s era of multiple image to reach the graffiti generation.
“A genuinely innovative work…enhanced by the artful scenography: fluttering silk costumes, a constantly shifting set of painted and lit screens and boxes, and the power of that constantly returning line of Mona Lisa masks staring us out. Those eyes, that face, that smile – a haunting performance.” Total Theatre Magazine
