The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles

About

The play unfolds over the course of a year as family and friends gather for dinners that repeat, fragment, and morph into dinners in a sanatorium in the Alps. The play collapses past and present. The extraordinary manifests within the mundane, humor sits alongside unease; intimate confessions give way to philosophical musings, and private lives echo the noise of the public arena. With its finely calibrated balance of wit, lyricism, and political awareness, The Door Slams, A Glass Trembles becomes a meditation on time, responsibility and the fragile moments of connection that persist even as reality increasingly feels like chaos. Presented by La MaMa in association with Talking Band.
