“To survive, we must learn everything we had forgotten, and unlearn everything we were taught, and being inhuman, overcome inhumanity.”
The Possibilities is a mosaic of brutality and violence, set against a backdrop of darkly vibrant humor. In 10 short scenes, characters square off against the nightmares of society, often acting against their own interests as they wrestle with the irrational and shifting moral grounds about them. Intensely powerful and disturbing, the vignettes explore the layers of truth, betrayal and danger of our lives. Ultimately, we must question our own humanity: in a world gone mad, what are the possibilities?
