Is There Anybody Out There?
Set in a pre-school classroom, six parents meet to rehearse a performance for the kids: the age-old story of 'Tristan and Isolde'. But when one parent arrives unexpectedly with their 5-year-old son, Sammy, following an argument at home, the themes of the play are put to the test. The group get into a heated argument about princesses and heroes, gender roles, violence and what it means to fall in love in our modern world... all while Sammy sits quietly, absorbing it all.
“Is There Anybody Out There?” aims to start the conversation about the escalation of domestic violence in our culture and asks the question: Does romantic love even exist and are we setting up our children for failure?
The performance uses quick and witty verbatim dialogue to speak to the human cost of family violence, and incorporates visually captivating and adept physical theatre to keep the show highly engaging for an audience to make their way through the difficult subject of violence in our homes.
