Paradok Platform: Lights Out

01,02,03,04 AUG 19:30
'Witty, yet painfully authentic' (The Student), Lights Out is an intimate, real-time conversation following two sisters, as they slowly move from playful banter, such as hypothetical debates over fruit salad, to conflicting memories which begin to uncover shared trauma. We start to question themes surrounding the nature of our changing relationships as we grow up, whether ignorance is truly bliss and how reactions shape the moral perception of an event. In a play filled with 'laughter and silence' (The Student), the bitterly nostalgic shift of perspectives enlightens our understanding of familial relationships.
