‘…a flow of ideas, movement and languages…total imaginative engagement…a frontier of experimental work…’
(Cork Midsummer Festival previews, 2014. Cork Echo, Ireland)
Amidst austerity, who is smiling now? Who moves whom? An international ensemble of award-winning artists from Wales, Ireland, Korea, and Singapore explore the dynamics of servitude…
Internationally known Wales-based director Phillip Zarrilli and award-winning playwright, Kaite O’Reilly guide two pairs of sister-maids (Irish and Korean), a Chinese ‘madame’, a sound artist, and a cellist as they weave together a rich tapestry of music, new text, movement, and gestural languages to create a compelling theatrical experience, inspired by Jean Genet’s classic The Maids.
playing ‘the maids’ is a completely new co-created performance that explores the dynamics of power and servitude, wealth-as-privilege, and the politics of intimacy in a globalized world. The performance weaves together seamlessly text in English, Chinese, Korean, and Gaelic (with sur-titles).
