The Man Who Ate Michael Rockefeller

(photo below by Lia Chang)

A wonderful new play by Jeff Cohen about the disappearance and possible cannibalisation of art collector Michael Rockefeller in New Guinea in 1961.  It mourns the loss of one of the world's last pure indigenous societies with wit and depth. The spirits of the Asmat tribe are ever present in beautiful almost subliminal movement. There is a very funny copulation routine which is both lewd and politically spot on.

Sneaky shot of the set.

And another great atmospheric space both inside and out
