A woman wakes up one morning to find holes appearing in her garden. She can’t find an explanation… so into the world she has to go.
Performed by a single storyteller as an act of endurance, As Far As We Know is a hallucinogenic, break-neck road trip through a world of anomalies. It's about holes appearing in the ground, the mysteries of money and data-centres appearing in the desert. It's about trying to make sense of a world that’s going wrong... and a world that refuses to be understood.
