Mrs c’s collective, the space theatre

“…suggestive staging and equally evocative scenography are employed as powerful allusions to the process of recovering a traumatic memory. “

“The set is a combination of earthy and constructive elements: A mound of dirt with a few small ferns lies at the end of the stage, which is configured as a runway. There is a pot with soil and a steak knife sticking out at the top of the runway, too. A powerful, intriguing image. The soil, perhaps, is analogous to the act of recovery– of unearthing something that otherwise remains deeply buried. And then there is the plastic covering that lines the edge of the stage at the end of the runway. This, along with the metal ladders and the untreated wood panelling, is suggestive of rebuilding. But also, it’s perhaps a nod to the act of just putting everything out there, warts and all.”
