Politicians and Demigods is in development! At the heart of the work is a community chorus on stage for the whole duration. Politicians and Demigods explores the power of the collective versus the power of the individual. As our main characters work to charm, pressure, distract and pull apart the ties that bind us, can we all keep our feet on the ground and do we want to? Expect shapeshifting creatures, chameleon politics, morphing collective structures and a deep dive into a bottomless well of power. When world domination starts to seem inevitable can the disruptive power of the body change our fate?
