66A Church Road - A Lament Made of Memories and Kept in Suitcases

DANIEL KITSON (UK)

Daniel Kitson returns to Brisbane Powerhouse with a new theatrical work of love, heart-ache and a forsaken flat.

“Last September I had to move out of my flat after living there for almost six years. I didn’t want to. I lived alone. I am single. 66a Church Road was the longest relationship of my life. This is a break up show. For my flat.” Daniel Kitson, May 2008

Astonishing images of crumbling beauty and battered grandeur will emerge from time beaten suitcases, telling a funny, sad and truly nostalgic story of a forsaken flat, a broken heart and the ache for home.

‘It is poetry shot through with laughter and pathos, a heartfelt reflection on what we mean by home…as good as anything Kitson has done.’ The Times
