The Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation presents the show Venison by The Helter Skelter Company team from12 October until 11 November 2012.
A man is in a hospital room injured. No one knows where he comes from or what has happened to him. A nurse gives him first aid. A TV in the room is showing a movie that no one is watching. The man loses consciousness and the nurse runs to call for help.
The man sinks and is trapped in strange worlds, inexplicable, chaotic. He gets lost in a delusional labyrinth of personal and collective memories, persons, creatures and voices that haunt him. He is found to have committed a crime, and as a bearer of a tragic destiny, seeks his punishment. Until his wanderings lead him to the land of the void. In that paradoxical space where nothing exists and everything must be defined from scratch. In the womb. In the place of innocence. In a landscape without time, guilt and return.
The team "The Helter Skelter Company" returns to the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation [“Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark", Black Box, March – April 2011] with the performance "Venison" and draws material from Aeschylus' Eumenides and Dostoyevsky, in order to track -through worlds that float within each other- the fall of a person from civilization to barbarism, from crime to punishment, from man to beast.
