About This Show
Two people from two very different life experiences share the same space for a short length of time. Both are carrying uncomfortable and unspoken memories. Their meeting means that finally they can own the choices made and move forward, however hesitantly, leaving regrets behind. The subtlety and ‘restrained tenderness’ of Edith Pearlman’s writing creates a collision of distance and closeness; seeing through windows, watching the other. It explores the need for connection and the difference between seeing and understanding. The characters see each other through their own frames of reference and need. This production uses Pearlman’s entire short story to explore the tracks, traces, tendrils and footprints of this text, to embody the language and explore life creating its own narrative.
