"They would’ve been a good person if there had been somebody there to shoot them every minute of their life." Flannery O’Connor, A Good Man is Hard to Find  

A Good Man is Hard to Find draws inspiration from the 2008 financial crash and the Bohemian Grove’s "Cremation of Care" ceremony to investigate uncomfortable scenarios about power plays and hierarchies, humiliation with scapegoating and sacrifice.  

A naked dancer sprawls on the floor and tries to get dressed without using his arms, while his colleague looks on, quietly indifferent in his director's chair. Another comes in haggard with his trousers around his ankles and is pissed on. A third sends his partner tumbling, his limp, disjointed body casting doubt on his physical humanity. In the shadows, a cleaner regularly cleans up the collateral damage.  

The movements of the dancers reflect inner turmoil and original music is juxtaposed with Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony In C Minor: a 20th century anti-war piece re-contextualised within the show for a climate of genocide, austerity and cultural exploitation. All climaxing in a ritual sacrifice of one performer - think office party at the end of the world meets Greek tragedy.
