The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes
The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes is a meditation on boredom, work, and time. Loosely adapted from Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, the show ambles, it meanders; it has very little that needs doing.
Performers move through slow repetitions, distract themselves and each other with objects, and forget why they’re there. The everyday becomes a languid fog where nothing is urgent, and purpose is suspended.
Light offers a loose guide as the sun rises and inches toward sunset. Song becomes a reason to come together over and over again. As the light fades, performers and directors sit together at a table to play, on string instruments, the song after which the show is named. They sing softly...
