Jon Fosse’s Someone is Going to Come, directed by Lilach Dekel-Avneri will be performed with English subtitles, Saturday, June 12, at 20:00 at Tmuna Theatre in Tel Aviv. Winner of a Kipod Zahav Fringe Theatre Award for the unique lighting design by Iris Mualem and Omer Sheizaf, the set design, lighting and live music are all integral parts of the production.
A couple, Lani Shahaf and Gal Hoyberger, are finally alone together, in a house by the sea. Shahaf and Hoyberger move beautifully through Fosse’s poetic minimalist text, exploring the vast range of emotion and possibilities of what it means to be “alone” and “together”.
“The set is designed in muted colors, with a slightly retro feel that recalls the 70s. Both the play and the set take the ordinary elements of everyday life – a house, a light fixture, a casual conversation – and give them a twist that suddenly makes them appear different, perhaps even threatening…an array of light fixtures, the kind that can be found in any living room, yet in this quantity, they transform the living room into an interrogation room, where the tensions, fears and conflicting desires within the seemingly ideal relationship are exposed. Will someone come and interrupt the lover’s idyll? Do they fear or desire intrusions on their privacy? Shahaf and Hoyberger take the audience on a thrilling journey through the secret chambers of the heart.” (Ayelet Dekel, Time Out February 2010)
