2009, 'My Sisyphean Merry-Go-Round', in Sprint Festival, CPT, London

There is always something in our lives that we want but are unable to attain. Is this because it’s too difficult to reach, or is it the case that we don’t want it enough? Maybe it’s because we are too busy being distracted by life’s gaudy merry-go-round to allow ourselves to face up to what it is that we really desire, governed by the fear of failing. How many attempts will you make to climb your mountain? Will you continue on with you quest, like Sisyphus; how many failures will you concede before giving up? If you admit defeat, how hard will you punish yourself for it? Song Chang presents himself in his first one-man-show for the company.
