KELLERMAN

By Andrew Quick, imitating the dog and Pete Brooks
Design by Laura Hopkins
Soundtrack by Neil Boynton

imitating the dog, one of the UK's most original and innovative performance theatre companies are set to follow up the critical success of their last production, Hotel Methuselah, when they stage the their ambitious and critically acclaimed play - Kellerman at Cochrane Theatre in London from 22-24- October at 8pm.

Diagnosed as delusional, Harry is in a hospital where he's struggling to come to terms with a tragedy that nobody believes has taken place. His notebooks are filled with calculations that attempt to show the past can be manipulated and the future predicted. Can he prove everyone wrong by changing the order of events that led to the disappearance of everything he loved?

Kellerman is a gothic tale of obsessive desire, demonic doctors and monstrous nurses, a story that explores how meddling with the past can have tragic consequences and how the search for origins can lead to the mind's disintegration. Combining film, animation and live action, it is a moving, accessible new performance by the creators of the critically acclaimed Hotel Methuselah.

Thursday 22nd - Saturday 24th October @ 8:00 pm

DEVISED AND DIRECTED BY MA PERFORMANCE DESIGN & PRACTICE COURSE DIRECTOR PETE BROOKS.

AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH 'IMITATING THE DOG' THEATRE COMPANY.

Taking as its starting points sources as varied as the graphic novel, 50s British Cinema and Baroque music, Kellerman tells the story of a man who is continually haunted by the traumatic events of his past. Induced into hypnosis, he is transported into the psychological landscape of a hospital, where, through shifting perspectives and transforming genres, a man is brutally murdered by a fellow patient, a nurse takes her own life and the river bursts its banks, flooding all the wards.
