Touring the Wife
From 26 April through 29 May Performing Lines will be touring through seven Australian cities the first Berry-ANINO-Pollard collaboration, The Folding Wife. The work was first performed at the Blacktown Arts Center, Sydney in 2007 where it was well-reviewed (Real Time, Sydney Stage, Sydney Morning Herald)
The Folding Wife is an exploration on the idea of people folding into either the situation or into a new culture […]. It starts off with the grandmother, mother and daughter and spans across 20th century Philippine history and migrating to Australia – to the outback. (Paschal Daantos Berry interviewed by Edd Aragon)
The production’s poetic language , verbal and visual, conjures memories personal and collective, poverty and pride, alienation, personal and cultural displacement, the search for ones identity.
