The Grandmothers

Five actors of the Khan Theatre entered the rehearsal room and, through a special creative process, brought their own grandmothers to life on stage. The result is a group of grandmothers living together in assisted living, alongside a registered nurse who accompanies them in song and dance. So a play was born that is a tribute to the older generation, and above all to their lives full of passions, fears and stories. The play offers a glimpse into the world of our grandparents, who recently experienced isolation and social distancing, and casts our relationships with them in a painful, moving, funny and above all longing light. Running time about 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
