Why make time for it

The British-German collective draws on The Picture of Dorian Gray without presenting a straightforward adaptation. Local participants join the production, bringing live encounters into the relationship between image, artist and audience. It is distinct from Robert Wilson’s Dorian, also scheduled at Theatre YOUNG.
