*As part of New Performance Festival
A 2b Theatre Company production
By Anthony Black (Halifax)
Atom is a man drowning in an existential crisis. He has everything. He’s a bright, up-and-coming stockbroker with a gorgeous girlfriend and a beautiful new baby. A real success story. But doubts about the ethics of his work have begun to plague him. And when he falls victim to a catastrophic reversal of his destiny, he finds himself suspended in a very precise moment in space and time.
This epic tale played out on an impossibly small stage with passion and precision, is about a man at an apex. The moment where up is about to become down, the beginning of the end of the world. Dealing with themes of economics and classical physics, this is essentially a very human and affecting story of personal tragedy.
Anthony Black self narrates this consummate solo performance, a critically acclaimed hit of the Edinburgh Fringe and festivals across Canada, USA and Australia. 2b theatre company has also toured other productions to Australia, Scotland, Germany, Ireland, New York, Nashville, and across Canada.
2b theatre company artistic co-directors Christian Barry and Anthony Black share a commitment to create, develop, and produce new work that is distinguished by innovation in staging, polish in design, and virtuosity in performance.
