In a dark, atmospheric scene from Rooftop Productions' contemporary theatre piece 'The Furies Variations', a performer is silhouetted against a vibrant, multi-colored light display. Their hands are illuminated as they manipulate light and shadows on a screen, which casts oversized, dramatic figures of the ensemble onto a large backdrop. This visually arresting moment reflects the production's exploration of perception and confinement. As the scene unfolds, a performer speaks: 'In the cave there are people who have been imprisoned there from birth.'
