“Dualarity” is a story about solitude and dreams unfolding on the 13th floor of a Soviet-era apartment building.

The play’s protagonists Boy 1 and Boy 2 – twins or the two sides of a single boy – reside in their own world, on the border between real life and the imaginary. The storyline emerges slowly, shifting between past and present, offering us scenes from their childhood and of their parents. For this is as much Mom and Dad’s story – an account of a generation who turned to escapism to find a way out of ordinary life.

The play’s dreamlike atmosphere is enchanting and sensitive topics are handled with a playful, verging on absurd, sense of humour, that makes reading it effortless and enjoyable. The text is suited for the stage, radio and screen: its short scenes and witty dialogue provide the material for a wide variety of approaches.
