Bigger Splash, A

Synopsis:
a dancer's studio with its dizzying array of mirrors is the setting for this luminous play inspired by the choreography of Pina Bausch and the music of Sigur Ros. a talented choreographer struggles to create a new dance work - without much success, until a mysterious visitor arrives with tape-recorded conversations and enigmatic video fragments that hint of long-buried secrets. Disembodied voices, the plaintive wail of an arab prayer, the presence of a dead rock star, visions of an empty swimming pool -- all come to haunt the choreographer's studio - or are they in fact all in her mind? Part dance-in-the-making, part mystery play, "a Bigger Splash" is a paean to an unique creative consciousness and to lost romance, where life and death dance as one.

Notes:
Simple set: A dancer's studio. Contact the playwright for rights.
