Bug's eye view. Bird's eye view. Where, why, and how do you know for sure? Using Hansel and Gretel as a distant point of departure, two captivating performers from opposite sides of the Atlantic gnaw their way through fact, fiction, philosophy and small props. The creator of last year's "Midair" returns with a new London collaborator in this hilarious and haunting fusion of story, song, movement, video and strange predicaments. Candy provided. Kraft "fashions sublime, witty...scenes of remarkable grace and beauty" (Chicago Reader). "(Purver's) career will be well worth watching" (London Theatre).
