A FORTY-five minute piece of fascinating theatre takes place next Thursday night, when Bocadalupa presents The Dodo Diaries at The Assembly Rooms, Presteigne.
A highly visual and atmospheric piece of physical theatre, The Dodo Diaries takes audiences on a strange and comic journey combining text, movement and the world of flightless birds, and tells the intriguing story of the life and death of a Victorian lady explorer.
In the seconds before certain death it is said that time expands and it is in this moment that the story takes place.
The story of Julia Logan Montgomery's untimely death unfolds through extracts from her diaries and the imagined flashes of memories that come to her in the expansion of time during her 8.3-second fall to her death.
Minimal set and atmospheric lighting conjure up the sights and smells of colonial India, where the solo performer creates strong visual images transforming into numerous characters.
