Wednesday 01 april
On a remote hillside, a rag-tag bunch of young
people play football, blindfolded.
Visited by ‘The Messenger’, it slowly becomes
clear that this isolated group are actually child
soldiers – a guerrilla group, whose main job is
to guard a prisoner – a kidnapped American. In
a new task brought to them, the group is now
required to take care of a cow, which will supply
them with milk. When ‘The Messenger’
eventually leaves, the dynamic of the group
begins to appear – one of shifting factions and
loyalties, dubious past-times and a feral
aggression that could pull them asunder.
With ‘The Lord Of The Flies’ as its template, the
audience is plunged headfirst into an immersive
world of war and adolescence. Brilliantly played
by a youthful ensemble cast, it is alternately
sensuous and scary, thrilling and appalling, with
a dark heart of horror at its core.
‘Landes’s story of teenage guerrillas
descending into anarchy is a hypnotic triumph’
– The Guardian
