GOING UP by Kiki Dranias

GOING UP is when a man with a death wish comes face-to-face with a suppressed killer, and there’s no way out. This stark, avant-garde theatre piece unravels while probing a deep-rooted struggle with depression, control, the right to live-and-die, and self-actualization. See how two strangely compatible people end up being both pawn and key master to each other’s deepest and darkest desires.
