FRAGILE
FRAGILE explores, through a magnifying glass, the character Laura from Tennessee Williams´s play Glass Menagerie. Through her fragile presence we sink deep into mute yet joyful loneliness. FRAGILE is a visual theatre performance where the theatrical space itself is perceived as a performer. Through meticulous lighting, and almost obsessional details of gesture, we fall to pieces - together with Laura - into shards, which will doubtlessly need putting together again.
“When you look at the piece of delicately spun glass you think of two things: how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken…“ Tennessee Williams
“Fragile is a great drama told in miniature, in which each every small movement is refined and fine-tuned. Delight.“
-Dr. Ruth Eshel, Ha’aretz, Israel
