Contemporary thriller meets operatic fever dream in this Australian premiere of Philip Glass’ The Trial. Under a blaze of fluorescent lights and with the shuffle of endless paperwork, the action unfolds in a chilling maze of a forgotten office space in Forrest Chase, where order masks chaos and every corner hides a secret.
‘One of the few genuinely disruptive arts organisations in Australia.’
