ŠtudenTeater: Skew Lines

“That’s it. On either side, you don’t know what you’ll dream about.”

“We had a choice on the other side too. You know that, right?”

In the liminal space between death and life, three unknowns are faced with a choice: to venture into the unknown once more and return to life, or to accept the end and finally pass into nothingness?

Through the prism of hindsight, perhaps everything seems different. When the hands of our clock stop, the questions knock so loudly on our door that it is difficult to ignore them.

Am I satisfied with how I have lived? Have I been a good person, have I gone in the right direction? What do I regret?

The awareness of the transience of life can make it bitter or sweet, as can the fact that, regardless of everything, no one knows for sure what awaits us on the other side.

Meditation on meaning then gives way to a question that arises from the very foundation of human experience itself – the bonds we weave between us and the marks we leave on each other in the process.

So what happens when we touch the path of a stranger (even for a single moment) before they skew away?

The authors commit that the performance was created entirely without the use of generative artificial intelligence.

The performance contains themes of death, addiction, and suicide.
