Synopsis: Amid the blitzed-out muzak of an American mall, an Australian photographer and a Jewish refugee remember those they have lost, but are these testimonies or confessions? After her daughter goes missing in New York City, Martine, an Australian photographer, goes to live in Central Park where Ruby was last seen standing. The play moves between the antiseptic halls of a shopping mall, where Martine unfolds what has happened to Ruby and the Park where she meets a German Jewish refugee. As the two women share their false memories, nostalgia and visitations from those they've lost, it becomes unclear whether they are testifying or confessing. "White Girls" explores the rituals we invent to cope with loss and the small gifts that are given without ceremony or gesture; that give us sustenance for the long journey. Through the refugee's eccentric acts, Martine might become aware of how far she's slipped from the world of certain things. White Girls captures the poignant, profound and sometimes absurd ways that we remember what we have lost. | ||||
