Amada is inspired by a tale from Chilean writer Isabel Allende. Using the remarkable singing voice of 'Basque-wegian' Nerea Bello, intense physical performance, visual poetry and Spanish guitar, Cora Bissett will recreate the colour, passion and sensuality of Lating America. Mother, Father, Son is inspired by the Japanese phenomenon of Hikikomori - middle class men, living with their parents, who isolate themselves completely from their families and society, shutting themselves in their bedrooms for years. Mother and Father dance to their ballroom records and leave food outside Son's room. They scarcely remember what he looks like, and find comfort in their own small routines, until Son decides to change the rules and a severed finger appears outside the door...T469717763Presented by Arches Award for Stage Directors in association with NTS Workshop and Traverse Theatre.Director Cora Bissett (Amada).
