"This delightful comedy is not only one of the most deft pieces of physical comedy I've ever seen, it is as subtle as it is funny, and as literate as it is energetic and frantic!" 5 Stars -SEE Magazine


Screaming Flea Collective's
A Season in Hell
Conceived and Performed by Screaming Flea Theatre
Written and compiled by Tanya Marquardt
Featured performance at the third Carnival of the Arts 2008

An on-site absinthe party, a ritual performance and a secret meeting, A Season in Hell is the latest from Screaming Flea Theatre. A concoction for the senses, A Season in Hell incorporates text, movement, performance and booze on the road to unearthing the inner workings of Rimbaud's prose-poem A Season in Hell. This excerpt marks the start of our work with this source, so we hope you will join us for the first incarnation.
