“We wait, suspended, like good revolutionaries, for you to return. You’re in all that we do... Our revolution should be against you!”
In the ramshackle, hideaway house of a rebel leader’s family, we enter a world of memories, rituals and secrets. Daddy has long since gone, lost in the jungle, on a dangerous mission. His wife and daughters crave his return, and as time passes, their waiting-games take a sinister twist.
You are invited to share in an intimate family ceremony; a night offering up surprising truths and powerful secrets.
An Ovalhouse FiRST BiTES commission: new performance pieces, currently in development and presented as work-in-progress showings.
