Apocalypse Bear Trilogy

A Stuck Pigs Squealing Production

By Lally Katz

This is an invitation. New lands are being created. Memory, now and in the future, is pouring onto the internet. Reality is splintering into shards of mirror and a casual, congenial bear is showing up at people's houses ...

If you’ve had a really bad day at school, he’ll be making your afternoon snack. If you crash your car, he’ll drive you home in the cab. If you’re getting divorced, he’ll take you back to where it all went wrong. Or he may invite you to the woods – a place of myth, transgression and discovery where outcasts can start again – but not without grave consequences.

Written by Lally Katz, the Apocalypse Bear Trilogy is the latest work from Melbourne’s award winning Stuck Pigs Squealing Theatre. Stuck Pigs’ work explores the mythic structures that lie beneath the surface of domestic and suburban reality – magical, memorable and mighty real.

Quotes

“[Stuck Pigs Squealing] is not interested in conventional, neatly packaged plays but in high-spirited, raw and poetic works that explore human nature at its most difficult, comical and depraved." Sydney Morning Herald
