About this event
Be among the first to experience this stirring, prescient drama in English! Sewer Rats Productions presents The Red Drops by Sigbjørn Obstfelder (1866-1900), a play by one of Norway's foremost poets presented in English for the first time in a new translation by Jordan Barger, directed by Sarah Billings. Incorporating physical theatre and striking visual design, this script-in-hand performance is much more than a staged reading. First published in 1897 but never performed in the playwright's lifetime, The Red Drops unwraps the mind of Odd Berg, a brilliant but dissatisfied engineer who privately works to uncover the "water of life," a mysterious essence that will fill the empty spaces within the atoms of our bodies, a salve for the anxious psyche of the emerging modern man.
