Dolos

Two people, six characters, a domestic insanity. Paul and Carol, in a relationship on the point of either dissolution or marriage, are controlled by conflicting forces within themselves. Dolos carries us on a journey into the inner world of the characters, accompanied by lively dialogue with a lightly humorous edge, striking visual effects and beautifully carved puppets.

Dolos is a works with the use of objects to create a layering of identity in characters. It plays with the questions: Do we know ourselves as we are, or are we holding on an idea of a ‘self’?  And then in the context of relationship – How long before love becomes just an idea to be held onto?

Dolos is staged using Bonraku-style puppets, Live performance and shadow theatre.
