Sunlight combines text, improvisation, a dumbshow, and movement in order to craft an original and unexpected response to a reality we face each and everyday: the minute-by-minute choice between a life of distraction and a life of attentiveness.
Although it is very much a work of theatre, it can also be described as a kind of dance piece in which the characters’ dialogue act as the dancer’s accompaniment. Together, the dance and the dialogue pose the question, “How can I be happy”. Refreshingly, the play provides a simple and direct answer.
