Servi
di Scena and Progetto 47 presented homesick 01 - Waiting is set in a bed. It is a non-verbal exploration of the experience of having nothing to do but wait. Inspired by a piece of Sylvia Plaths writing about waiting, the everyday becomes abnormal.
homesick 02 - Supper at Eight is set at a long table. Two women are waiting for their supper to end. They know an audience is watching an audience has been watching all their lives. A waiter silently serves these women the interminable supper, while we watch them. The operatic aria floating from the other room only serves as a reminder of the outside world.
homesick 03 - Sunday Morning continues from the end of homesick 01, the same bed, a different person...
