ALEPPO

by Elias Jamieson Brown

"'Aleppo' is an eight hour durational play, split in two parts. Set in St Kilda, Brooklyn, 1980's Berlin, and rural Ukraine, 'Aleppo' is an ambitious ensemble work that attempts to explore our proximity to trauma in 2018. 'Aleppo' explores global displacement, US oil interests, proxy wars, and generational trauma. The play shifts between hyper-realism and surrealism and from the past, future, and present in a fragmented narrative that is both a cautionary tale and a chronicle of the post-Trump era."
