Double Bill: Dear Sisyphus & The Skeleton is White | EXPERIMENT Work In Progress

Dear Sisyphus by Saili Katebe (he/him)
Dear Sisyphus is a one-person spoken word theatre piece that reimagines Camus’ timeless myth through the lens of a modern mind wrestling with meaning, momentum, and the quiet absurdity of striving. Blending original poetry and monologue, this intimate performance invites the audience into a fractured inner landscape, where story becomes ritual, and language becomes resistance.
The Skeleton is White by Divija Melally (she/her)
A movement solo incorporating elements of South Asian Classical Dance and text to explore the stories that our bodies carry.
The work explores how the colour of our skin can affect our relationship to each other and to the environment that surrounds us. Our intrinsic DNA mechanisms have wired our body and mind to respond involuntarily in particular environments, triggering the fight, flight or freeze mode. As we move in a constantly changing world, how do we make our own bodies forget and disregard race? How do we erase the inscribed whiteness of the skeleton?
