Unconditional:
Without Conditions or Limitations

Patrick Centre at the Hippodrome
Tue 3 June-Wed 4 June 2003

A challenging multi-media live performance by Martin Glynn comprising ritual theatre, spoken word, visuals, and sound. Unconditional maps the journey through the taboo world of death and dying, the confusion of the conscious, subconscious, and the inner struggle of letting go of someone you love. It is told in a monologue narrative style, which is both unpredictable and at times shocking. Whilst the soundscape conveys the emotional centre of the piece, movement and the introduction of ritual throughout creates a unique theatrical experience, where the strong visual content pushes Unconditional beyond the predictable. The result is a holistic experience that will touch the inner boundaries of the soul.

Part of The Three Eyes, a three part poetry and film event under the Artistic Direction of Amani Naphtali, famous for writing and directing Ragamuffin.
