THE MEDIUM

Around Ambassador Solo gathers an entourage of Officios, including the Protocol Scribes, Attaches, Laborers, the ubiquitous Woman and the somewhat perplexing yet ever-present "Bourreaucrat", defining the Kafkaesque role of the inhibitor within us. It is in the adoption of roles and role playing that the embassies render themselves as a performance spectacle and as an art deliberately suited for the stage.

An Embassy Without a Country addresses a number of issues including political, racial, cultural, religious, economic and gender. It represents a reexamination of the notions of truth, purity and hypocrisy, when seen from their Greco-Roman supposed origins and the conflicts that arise when these values are superimposed on to relations and cultures of different origins.
