Ep. 52: Studio Series presents Clean
April 21, 2021
“You are not my fucking friend.”
Welcome to the Studio Series: experiments in audio storytelling from some of the most exciting theatre artists from our TransAmerican community in Canada. This presentation is also available in Spanish.
We’re proud to present Clean, a work in process written by Christine Quintana, translation and adaptation by Paula Zelaya Cervantes, in collaboration with Neworld Theatre. This episode has been adapted for an English audience. When produced, Clean will be performed onstage in both English and Spanish.
Memories, fantasies, and reality mix on a rainy night at a Cancun resort. Adriana, a hotel floor manager, is reeling from the news of her father’s death. Sarah, a visiting wedding guest, is haunted by events from the past. When a chance incident connects them, the echoes of their pasts and imagined futures collide with the present, in the false paradise of the resort.
Clean was developed with the support of Neworld Theatre (Vancouver, BC), the Tarragon Theater (Toronto, ON), the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
This recording was co-produced by Neworld Theatre and Aluna Theatre.
