First Love
By Samuel Beckett
Performed by Conor Lovett
Directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett
One of Samuel Beckett's early novellas, First Love contains much of his distinctive black humour and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of Beckettian perversity. A young man, expelled from the family home, takes refuge on a bench by a canal. There he meets a woman who takes him home, with comically disastrous consequences.

LIGA, 50% reward & 50% punishment
Kassys (The Netherlands)
LIGA starts with the end on video. A live "flashback" follows as the actors learn to pretend. Young and easily influenced, their human need to conform makes them susceptible to manipulation.

Sight is the sense that dying people tend to lose first
Written and Directed by Tim Etchells (UK)
Performed by Jim Fletcher
Sight is the sense... is a long, free-associating monologue that tumbles from topic to topic to create a vast failing explanation of the world. Comical in its apparent naiveté and preposterously encyclopedic in scope, it exposes the absurdity and horror of consciousness as it tries and fails to define everything that it encounters.
