Paper Swans at Pleasance Courtyard

In a closed park at night, a security guard encounters a young woman in a ballet dress who is making paper swans, leading them into a cycle of repeated meetings. Each encounter unveils slight changes in their situation, emphasizing a fragmented progression influenced by absurdist theatre. Written by Vyte Garriga, the play draws from her experiences in the Soviet Union, exploring themes of violence and oppression while allowing audiences to derive personal meanings from the characters' transformations. Featuring an original score by Nick Hart, the production combines dark humor with striking physicality, performed by Garriga and actor Daniel Chrisostomou.
