BATS Theatre Presents FRACTUR As Part of Fringe 2010
FRINGE 2010: Fractur
Saturday 13 - Tuesday 16 February @ 8PM
Tickets: $16 full / $13 concession / $12 Fringe Addicts
Vanja Draganic makes her NZ directorial debut in this exploration on the effects of power on ordinary people. The company took on roles as prisoners or guards and lived for six days in a rural community hall while devising the script. Fractur is the result.
Fractur is documentary theatre inspired by one of the most notorious psychological experiments in history. The Stanford prison experiment was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. The experiment was conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers led by Psychology Professor Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University. His methods were used by Draganic to structure long form improvisations which then became the basis of the show.
Fractur asks of the audience "would you have done better?"
