Set on the eve of an anniversary party held in an ornate London restaurant, Harold Pinter’s Celebration aims to explore the bizarrely acute condition of human existentialism. This theatrical experiment will place the restaurant on top of Mauricio Kagel’s music, as performed by beyond this point, to cultivate the relationships of human tension, dark humor, and existential disposition.
