Uncertain Borders
By Craig Knight
Synopsis:
Welcome! Your seat to Uncertain Borders is confirmed. A lecture that highlights that most mysterious, paradoxical, but inevitable trip that awaits everybody. Together, we will delve into the science of the paranormal, testing the religious beliefs and superstitions that have shaped this world, the one to come, and the unsettling boundary we must cross between the two . What really does happen on that journey? Come and find out. Learn things you may not want to know.
Run time 20/25 minutes.
Triggers.
Dark, with luck, very dark humour. A deliberately iconoclastic piece. The blatant dissection of – what, to some, may be strong - religious beliefs. The undermining of accepted tropes with a, hopefully, sleep-disturbing conversation, delivered by an increasingly sinister figure.
