The Falling Heads by The Thursday Group (AU)


The Thursday Group from Melbourne, Australia, in collaboration with  Andrea Albernaz (Isla Collective), presented the piece Falling Heads in October/November 2025 in ODENSE. 

Directed by Matthew Crosby, the work explores the notion of separation — brother from brother, mind from body — inspired by Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s The Story of a Head That Fell Off (1917). 

Using psychophysical theatre techniques, the production combined Brechtian elements with sharp relevance to contemporary existential conflicts.
