The Doorway
A Solo Performance about Family, Memory and Shifting Relationships
Artists
Three chapters. Three rooms. One child recalling his memories.
The Doorway is a solo performance in which one body brings four characters to life: a father, a brother, a mother, and a dog. Director and performer Yash draws on his personal experiences to create a world where objects come to life. Through old photographs, puppetry, narration, and live performance, the audience pieces together a rather honest family portrait.
