casa & jardim
Eight women, at a party, move between the inside and the outside of a house. Between the house and the garden. House & garden are two plays acted out by the same cast, portraying the same roles, in two different stages. The audience sees one and then the other. It feels like like everything around these women is falling apart and they set a chain of events in motion, even though only at the end of the show do we realize what exactly they intent to do: a colective suicide broadcast live on television. House & Garden are only a wall away, like the two sides of a barricade.
