Description | The narrative of Hauser's life, in this company-devised work, is a springboard for a stark, stylised text and movement-based performance ... there are moments of intelligence and sharp irony ... Kaspar's ingenuous pleas were moving and the final death scene was a powerful and memorable tableau. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
