The Weight of a Body (transl. Buffery) is a powerful new play about love, duty, and the fragile systems that hold us together. When her once-strong father suffers a stroke and becomes suspended between reality and illusion, his daughter steps into the isolating role of carer. Overwhelmed and under-supported, she navigates a world where tenderness collides with bureaucracy, and exhaustion meets fierce devotion.
Blending disciplines and shifting theatrical forms, this inventive production transforms urgent social realities into something intimate, imaginative, and unexpectedly humorous. Rooted in lived experience, it is both a deeply personal story of grief and a resonant exploration of resilience, revealing the quiet heroism—and hidden cost—of care.
