After “André & Dorine” and “Solitudes”, the Kulunka Theatre Company has once again opted for the silent language of masks in a show that combines tenderness with harsh reality.
“Forever” is the story of how a family moves away from what they once dreamed their life would be. Reflecting on the contradictions of love with humour and irony, the show explores themes such as parenthood, child-rearing, disability, overprotection, sexuality and violence. Performed on a rotating platform with an intensely film-like language, “Forever” is a merry-go-round; the Ferris wheel of life. But it is also a spiral that, with every turn, delves deeper into its characters’ pain. Just how low can a lack of communication drag an entire family? Perhaps the most disturbing (and the most exciting) thing about this play is that it could all too easily be the story of our own lives too.
“Forever” is a co-production with the Spanish National Drama Centre, Arriaga Theatre in Bilbao, and Victoria Eugenia Theatre in San Sebastián.
