Description

Description

An Adaptations of Raymond Carver’s short stories

The performance is an adaptation of three selected works of Raymond Carver and explores the coincidence and turns in everyday life —

The husband has been lying on the couch since unemployed, by then his wife observes life starts to get rotten, like food in their fridge.
Hit by the sudden death of their son, the couple immense themselves in grief and fluster, until a baker irritates them with calls.
A man, alone and lonely while his wife is away, gets a call and invitation from a woman who dials the wrong number.

Carver is regarded as the ‘American Chekhov’ for their devoted depiction of nobodies with strong humanity spirits. The characters are immersed in mundanity and difficult relationships, however, leaks a sense of vitality at the same time.
