Interiors Tickets

“Vanishing Point’s 2009 hit explores gaze: who sees what and how they interpret it. It cleverly casts the audience as voyeurs watching events in a family home unfold behind a glass screen with the sound turned off. It should benefit from having the run of the expansive Barbican stage and from the fact that in this new iteration there is an opportunity for more diverse casting which also changes how we look and see. It takes its inspiration from Maurice Maeterlinck's 1891 symbolist play Interior, in which a family gathering is interrupted with news of a daughter's death, But while what we see and is said never seems profound, one of the extraordinary beauties of this piece is the way it finds the profound in the everyday.”
