Life finds a way of making us confront our opposites—but what if your opposite lives next door?
Domi has been making extra arms to help people all over the world. She’s become a local hero and everyone is calling her the “eight- armed woman”! But Sora, Domi’s next door neighbour is suspicious… and starts spying on Domi, determined to prove that she’s a threat to their community.
The Arms is a show about coexistence. The opposing viewpoints of two women are exposed as they double down on their incompatible approaches to doing good for their community.
The show will end with a brief Q&A.
About the production:Shortlisted for Brighton Fringe’s Best New Show award, ‘The Arms’ has opened to sold out shows and five-star reviews. Elaina Fielding and Vyshnavi Krishnan's austere and paired back set and costume design, made from recycled materials, help to frame the tense relationship of the two leads. The powerful performances by Rosalind Jackson Roe and Carolina Emidio propel this drama forward, underscored by original music and sound by Ábel MGE.
