Synopsis

Like a taut piece of chamber music, Wounds to the Face weaves themes and variations dealing with how we perceive ourselves and those around us. While touching on myriad subjects– beauty, decay, disguise, vanity, injury and propaganda–this play moves beyond how we read and in turn, wish to be read by others to examine how we choose to move through life. To accept or defy? With cruelty and wit, Howard Barker sets his characters in a time of upheaval, and we witness their struggles to dominate or conciliate. A poetic, violent and at times humorous exploration of identity and power. (fringetoronto.com)
