What is the trilogy?
The trilogy shows one character’s past, future, and dreams, by exploring intimacy and distance, reality and representation in love.
LOVE IS A SNIPER is a Russian roulette played by suicidal lovers. The organizer of the game is an eleven-year-old girl. It involves six players, like the six bullets in the chamber of the revolver: the Shy Boy, Beauty, the Boxer, the Country Girl, the Don Juan, and the Stripper. A rock band plays during the game.
The play is a photo album with confessions, live songs, crying contests, boxing matches, the reconstruction of dreams, dance choreographies. Like a dream repeating itself with slight variations, a different character dies at the end of each performance.
