This was no ordinary recital. Candlelight, carefully chosen costumes, and the spoken word of Dante’s immortal poetry turned the performance into a ritual of music, literature, and theater.

CPPM’s LÄBU vol.2 ep.4 – Ana Trif | Charis Taplin
This show runs like a collection of vignettes, almost, circling themes of desire, family, identity and suffering; a woman both going through the motions and drowning under the weight of her unspoken screams.
Rene Köster’s Home Alone @ HUNGR
Köster and team have pulled together an incredible staging for the series of scenarios, an imaginative, twisted take on parental abandonment and filial devotion.

The piece begins, rewinds, restarts, stops, and progresses, degrading in the way that a VHS tape would after too many viewings.
