Delicate

Delicate plundered the dark underbelly of human need and desire. It followed the curve of 1 night, where 6 characters reached out for a cure to their loneliness, dissatisfaction and need.

Delicate explored what holds us together and what tears us apart. As the night progressed, the temperature rose, partners changed, and changed again – looking for satisfaction and an escape from themselves.

Twisted bed sheets bore witness to the raging struggles of love-locked partners and the mini bar fed the sad reflections of the lonely motel.

Cutting, powerful text and fabulous imagery combined to shatter the brittle truths of being alone together.

Premiered | 1996, uk
