WITH some striking imagery and innovative choices in design, Cathy Petocz’s play about connection between people, events and chance creates a world of pure sculptural moments mixed together in a kind of dreamscape.

With Kimmo Vennonen’s Sound Design, the play floats above the audience while accentuated by controlled distractions. One is left as if in a half-dreaming state between awake and dreaming while the radio plays in the background.

The concept shatters the notion of chronological order; rather exposing circles of relationship that mirror, echo and shadow each other. Is this essentially what all personal history and death amount to?

Petocz is clearly experimenting with writing forms that pertain to current realities and problems within the contemporary mind.

This is very demanding on the actors. Their reference points change constantly and so they must find the energy to re-invent their journey through the work.

In the main, they managed to find necessary strength to keep the competing elements of the work in play. More fluidity and variations in vocal delivery will no doubt evolve during the season.

“Where I End And You Begin” is challenging for the audience. With some false endings, one became aware that perhaps the length could be cut. However, the text, sound and visual qualities stay with you upon leaving the theatre and certainly leave room for one’s own imagination to contribute to the meaning.
