The Raise

Show Description:

In The Raise the French author Georges Perec deploys an algorithm to demonstrate an employee’s efforts to seek an increase in salary. The plot involves the employee, his boss, and the secretary. But you won’t see these three onstage! Instead, the six characters you will engage with are; the proposition, the alternative, the positive hypothesis, the negative hypothesis, the choice, and the conclusion -- six recurring nodes of an algorithm.
