A respectable wedding
“A respectable wedding” is a story about creating and inventing traditions. The Bridegroom is presenting furniture he made with his own hands, in front of Bride’s traditional father from whom he rejected dowry- furniture that generations of Bride’s family lived and died on. Throughout the play we find out the guests’ secrets, and with the breakdown of the perfect family picture, the furniture also starts to fall apart.
The concept of the performance is designed as a wedding family photoshoot. While out of the camera eye family relations based on myths are breaking down, in the final shots there is a picture of a perfect family. The idea of photographing came from thinking thoroughly about the basic tool of false presentation in the 21st century. Even though throughout the wedding family secrets get revealed, and things fall apart – next generations will look through the wedding album and see perfect wedding family pictures.
