Cast

A stage actress attends her own memorial service, reflecting on her life and indulging in dark humour during her “afterparty.”

Alice’s reckless plunge down the rabbit hole and her endless descent into Wonderland is driven by her perception of the real, outside world — a world governed by order, rules, pressures, principles, and taken-for-granted routines that stifle and bore her. Wonderland, by contrast, where she ends up, allows her a new perspective, and turns that order on its head, embracing chaos, change, and absurdity. Her plunge down the rabbit hole represents an escape from society’s rigidity, a leap from tediousness and stagnation into imagination, adventure, and excitement.

For adults, choosing to tumble down the rabbit hole is no longer so simple and easy. It demands courage, as the unknown can be frightening, coercing, even perilous. Yet, in a world of radical disorientation, perhaps diving headfirst into the unknown—into ourselves—is the right key  to rediscovering the world from a new perspective and determine where we truly want to go.

Alice: Some Solilogues on the Unbearableness of Time explores Wonderland as a metaphor for the passage to death, not in a mystical sense, but through the raw, familiar emotions experienced by its creators. This exploration intertwines reflections on theatre, the acting profession, and the ephemeral nature of the art of acting and theatre itself.
