"...Et Alia is truly making the best out of a bad situation and uniting artists across the world in a project that is both intimate and moving..."
"On How To Be a Monster is not a primer which provides a road map. Our society’s contemptible self‑absorption is certainly a big target here as is our ability to turn a blind eye..."

ON HOW TO BE A MONSTER
BY MARIA MÜLLER
When: February 22nd, 24th & 25th
Where: The Tank
John, Clara, Ron, Lara, Don, Tara, Sean and Sarah are four couples who like to discuss important issues such as global warming, planned parenthood or starvation in Africa. Or do they? They might have more urgent things going on. Some might say they’re in competition, but they would surely disagree with that, because they’re very good friends! Halfway through the night, Tara disappears. Will they find her? And what is that sound, anyway?
