Black Mouse

ABOUT

“Black Mouse” - A Journey into Darkness and Deception.

Step outside the realm of reality and plunge into the world of "Black Mouse," a haunting play written by Alice Viskat, and delve into a world of darkness and mystery. 

Set in a secluded manor, this thrilling drama unravels like a sinister riddle, with absurdist comedy lighting your way through the twisting labyrinth. Enter into the world of Artemis, a devoted butler tormented by the whims of his disturbed mistress, Jess, where every whispered secret and stolen glance reveals a new layer of deception. As their stories intertwine, Artemis transcends his role, evolving into Jess's confidante and, perhaps, something even more.

Directed by Alice Viskat (creator of Flughafen), "Black Mouse" features a mesmerising performance by S’Qhamo Mangcu as Artemis and Alice Viskat as Jess. The staging is intimate and the set is a whimsical and extravagant display of the run-away imagination of Alice Viskat, adding an absurd and playful element to this macabre play, with a haunting piano motif winding itself around the necks of the two characters. 

"Black Mouse" is a chilling exploration of the human psyche, a journey into the darkest corners of the soul where redemption is a distant hope and the truth a rare commodity. It's a reminder that sometimes, the greatest mysteries are those we carry within ourselves, hidden from the light of day. "Black Mouse" will premiere at Theatre Arts, Observatory, on 2 May 2024, with performances running until 12 May 2024. Don't miss your chance to experience "Black Mouse" - reserve your tickets now and prepare to be captivated by a story that will haunt you long after the curtain closes.
