Craig & Miriam

dir. Hofan Chau

with Juan Ayala and Julia Yevnine

Craig and Miriam is a dance-theatre piece about a two people in a relationship, who see and experience the world very differently.

Craig is a computer programmer for an online fantasy game, who prides himself on seeing the world objectively and rationally, and enjoys the freedom of the virtual world. Miriam is a social worker and a idealist, who cares passionately and emotionally about the problems in the real world. And in spite of, or because of, these differences these two characters have a relationship that is exasperating, funny, tender and terrible.

This piece is about the friction and the learning that comes from the collision of these two worlds, and the emotions that arise from virtual and real world violence.
