unnamed

The story of Tristan and Isolde is a constant fluctuation between life and death, dream and reality - their love is the fragile experience of momentary eternity, an equilibrium between the commonplace and the ethereal, the concrete and the abstract. One body. Two hearts. Beating as one. The reflexes of twin souls. Their story presents an opportunity to review the promise of an Eden fulfilled. What tore this world apart?

Zoltán Balázs's production in Mini teater seeks an answer to this question, enquiring into the delicate balance of the relationship between man and woman, by unconventional means.
