Loose Ends
20-24 July 2009
Sleeping Beauty, Penelope, Ariadne, Calypso, Arachne, the Lady of
Shalott and Philomela – what do all these figures from myth
and literature have in common? All of them are spinners or weavers or
in some way connected to threads and fabrics. Now all of them have been
united in a big tapestry that is at the centre of our play.
Frustration and suffering have been common factors of their existence
– but should they not be at peace now, quietly gazing out of
the tapestry at the visitors of the art gallery who come to see them?
But the women have a problem – the guides who are supposed to
inform the visitors about them do not tell their stories
“properly”, not in the way the women would like
them to be told. And on the closing night of the exhibition, something
starts to unravel…
