Director, producer and writer, Bethany Sharp, chats to Daniel Passi, director and writer of Siblings. We discuss Cinderella in shopping malls, visual artistry in theatre work, poetry in the profane and the psychology of guilt in family dynamics, in advance of the run of Siblings at the Space (playing 9th - 13th August, including a livestream on the 11th and on demand access for two weeks after that).
“Try to understand them…. That’s the way they’re made. And since they’re like that, you were bound to rebel.”
C., L. and B. have locked themselves up in an old theatre where they re-enact the killing of their own parents. A question arises: is this a rehearsal for a crime, a confession of guilt or a dead serious game of make-believe? Taking the theatrical act to its utmost consequences, the children soon discover what happens once the parental order is overthrown.
Siblings is an original translation and adaptation of the work of the Cuban playwright José Triana, a fundamental voice of 20th century Latin American theatre.
