Free Theatre Christchurch presents:

FRANKENSTEIN

Directed by Peter Falkenberg

“When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?”

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Free Theatre invites you to be part of one of the most exciting breakthroughs of modern times. Scientist and artist Dr Victor Frankenstein is on the brink of creating the perfect human being. With your generous support, we can take this final step and create a new Adam. Come and hear the Doctor talk about his remarkable discoveries and see the extraordinary prototypes that have led to this exciting possibility.

Directed by Peter Falkenberg and with a set designed by Stuart Lloyd-Harris, Frankenstein is a production that will provide a feast for the senses. Music, dance, film, magic and puppetry all play a part in this engaging multimedia performance which will envelop its audiences in a magical, mystical, mythical dream machine. Frankenstein follows the success of the immensely popular Ubu Nights and ongoing projects The Mauricio Kagel Project (presented at last year’s Christchurch Arts Festival), Kafka’s Amerika and I Sing the Body Electric and is performed in Christchurch’s contemporary performance space, The Gym in the restored Arts Centre.

A series of public workshops as part of the Free Theatre Education Programme will also take place around the performance season of Frankenstein (please see the Free Theatre website for more info: http://www.freetheatre.org.nz/).
