| DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. DNA. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. When a high school "it" gang takes a joke too far, a lonely and terrified boy is lost. . . isn't he? 'I am trying to keep everyone together. Ever since I came to this school haven't I been trying to keep everyone together? Aren't things better? For us? I mean not for them, not out there, but for us? Doesn't everyone want to be us, come here in the woods? Isn't that worth keeping hold of?' LyT return to the Traverse for the fifth year with a shadowy story played to a hard-core soundtrack in their trademark cutting-edge style. Calling up contemporary media obsessions with 'real life stories' and dodgy old men with rotten teeth, DeoxyriboNucleic Acid is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very, very dark heart. | |||||

Synopsis: | Subtitled 'A Klezmer piece', The Fourth Gate was is based on traditional Hassidic stories. This funny and multi-faceted play depicts a lost world where the celestial and the everyday go hand in hand, where poverty and ignorance may be signs of ultimate richness and wisdom, where searching for your mentor/spiritual leader can be a life-long goal. In this small Ukrainian community, time and space seem to be penetrable and reversible, reality and myths can be easily confused. | |||||
