After performance discussion with the creative team!

"The Return" is a modern Gothic narrative about Michael and Claire, a young couple going through a divorce, and their improbable journey back to one another, one that disrupts the normal order of the world.

This work, which breaks social taboos, is what is described in the French literary tradition as a bizarrerie—a strangeness that disrupts the obviousness of our ordinary daily lives. The play is based on a Gothic motif of a world turned upside down, suggesting that on Judgment Day, the wronged will take revenge on their oppressors.

However, in the performance, the line separating justice and punishment from sacrilegious pleasure is ghostly faint and constantly being redrawn. Here, our existential anxiety, shameful desires, and past mistakes are thrust into a blindingly bright, electric light.
