We recognize both the characters and the language as being of our world and our time. The Statement is a one-act play, with four characters locked in their own battle for control, and with the morality of their actions: they have been tasked with fueling a conf lict in a distant country. Character “A” declares: “For generations they’ve been fighting. All we did was use it. We used it as an opportunity - the attacks - for investment. For growth. We used it.” Now, being asked to take responsibility for their actions in order to exonerate their superiors, a conflict is rising within their department.” Assistant to the choreographer: Ander Zabala | Music: New composition by Owen Belton | Playwright: Jonathan Young | Vocal Performance: Meg Roe, Colleen Wheeler, Andrew Wheeler, Jonathan Young | Light: Tom Visser | Decor: Jay Gower Taylor | Costumes: Crystal Pite, Joke Visser Follow us now on social media!
