Description I AM questions our humanity, faith and redemption. Colin McCahon's expressive painting victory over death 2 (1970) dominates the work. Frighteningly beautiful projections loom large behind the performers. I AM is hypnotic and spectacularly lit by Helen Todd. Ponifasio's unbending directorial conviction and distinctive aesthetic make MAU one of the world's most innovative visual-theatre companies. Garnering accolades from audiences and critics in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australia and the Pacific, MAU's trademark, genre-defying performances challenge our experience of theatre.
