Performance Space 122

The Euthanasist explores the nature of care giving, devotion and losing one's self in a self-imposed torture of the day to day. Through her diarized testimonial, alongside multi-channeled images, the landscape of one woman's rationale is revealed as she questions her relationship to living and others' desire to die. Told to us compellingly by the mysterious Euthanasist, this theatrical event is certain to stir and provoke.
