Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, Bargehouse Street, Southbank, SE1 9PH
Theatre: , Performance Art, Melodrama
How Much:
£17.00 (Tickets)
An extraordinary piece of documentary theatre by Jonathan Holmes, telling the story of Hurricane Katrina, and the millions of New Orleans citizens left stranded by their government in the aftermath. The shockingly slow reaction of the Bush government, when citizens had to fend for themselves for up to a week, was one of the low-points of modern American history.
Using survivor testimonies, media clips and the incredibly rich musical heritage of New Orleans, Jericho House have created a sensory collage across all four floors of this atmospheric warehouse venue. The show takes its audience on a journey through a flooded city, meeting determined or desolate characters and marveling at the destruction wreaked on a cultural heartland.
Another enticing promenade performance with a theme to really make you sad. Or angry. Either way, we're recommending it.
