Purged

You are now twenty nine. A few weeks ago, you attempted to stay twenty nine forever.

You failed.

How do you explain the world you are in now?

One simple question over a dinner table sparks an extraordinary chain of memories and associations in this unique solo piece. Fusing physical theatre and intimate storytelling, this is a heady tale of euphoria, redemption, and extremity written by Chris Polites (writer for Catharsis' HECUBA in 2015).

Purged is a play about the impossibility of communicating to others the issues around mental health deterioration, and trying to break the associated isolation by connecting to the world through the people it inhabits.

Purged received development time at Blue Elephant Theatre, Camberwell in 2016 after an initial scratch performance at The Bread & Roses Theatre.

Catharsis return to The Hope for two nights only following the success of Hippolytus in 2015.
