For thirteen years Mordechai Vanunu has been in solitary confinement for blowing the whistle on his country’s secret nuclear weapons program. A technician at Israel’s Dimona Nuclear Facility, Vanunu supplied the London Sunday Times with photographs of its operations. The Israeli government, with the help of a female Mossad agent posing as an American tourist, lured Vanunu to Rome, kidnapped him and illegally took him back to Israel. There he was tried as a traitor, and sentenced to eighteen years in prison. This one man show depicts Vanunu’s isolation and anguish, and his struggle between hope and pessimism, for himself, and for humankind.

Artistic Fraud of Newfoundland’s Artistic Director, Jillian Keily, has created a startingly original staging style called kaleidography, which transforms the entire cast and stage into a unified image of patterns and shapes, constantly flowing into new images as smoothly as if one were looking through a kaleidoscope. The basis of this concept is a precisely timed grid style of choreography that has a central rhythmic structure on which all sight and sound are based. The resulting symphony of colour, movement and sound can only be described as theatre at its most spectacular.
