Eldorado

By Marius von Mayenburg

10 June 2006 – 02 July 2006 Merlyn Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

New Translation Theatre

Set in an unnamed, half-destroyed city where every ruin is speculated for its market value. "Eldorado" reveals a metropolis decayed to the core. In this raven black fable, a man tells a single lie and risks everything he loves and believes in. As his life crumbles, so too do the foundations of an external world built on mythical visions of gold sinking fast into history's bloody catacombs.
