\n\r\n “The Roommate,” the subversive play by queer American author and poet Jen Silverman, is an unpredictable adventure about two women living together somewhere in the Midwestern United States.<\/p>

\n On stage (in alphabetical order):<\/strong> Marina Aslanoglou, Gogo Brebou<\/p>

\n The case:<\/strong><\/p>
\n
\n “The Roommate,” Robin, comes from the Bronx to share a home with Sharon, who lives in Iowa. Strangers to each other, now alone, with grown children who live far away, they\u2019ll share the same roof and will inevitably have to get to know one another\u2014their quirks, their pasts, and their oddities. And here begins the game of charm, as it always does at the start of a new acquaintance. Funny stories, but also stories involving demons, weaknesses, fears, and desires. <\/p>
\n The conservative Sharon will try to understand the rebellious Robin, who doesn’t understand Christ! And yet, at some point, the two of them manage to find common ground. <\/p>
\n Different mindsets, different minds, different principles\u2014or no principles at all. The petty-bourgeois and tedious normality is pleasantly disrupted by the anarchic and titillating thrill of the illegal and the transgressive. Yin and yang will work together, and each will take from the other what it lacked; and despite their differences, they will find a unique balance! Everything that came before was, after all, so banal! <\/p>
\n I guess it’s time for something completely groundbreaking! Something that speaks to their hearts! Something they’ll really love! Let’s start from the beginning! <\/p>
\n \u201cThe Roommate\u201d is a powerful, adrenaline-pumping play that explores the redefinition of the self when life has moved on significantly, when the \u201cmusts\u201d are few and memories are plentiful.<\/p>
\n It is a project for the tomorrow that comes every day! For all those\u2014regardless of gender \u2014 who continue to be swept away by the sound of life and build their own world just as they want it, because, if we really think about it, there\u2019s nothing left standing! <\/p>
\n If Nietzsche had said, \u201cDon\u2019t exorcise your demons and throw away everything good that\u2019s inside you!\u201d either Robin and Sharon listened to him, or they\u2019re simply following their hearts.<\/p>
