Chewing The Fat
Chewing The Fat from Sinclair Arts Theater Company
Conny, Melissa, Samantha and Luisa are practically family, they have been friends for a lifetime and made a pact that no matter where they were they would meet at least once a year, no matter what.
On this particular reunion, forgotten secrets, hidden resentment, racism and homophobia rear their ugly heads. Posing the question – do we really know anyone and how well do we really know about ourselves?
Note: Contains themes of an adult nature.
Düsseldorf's first English-speaking theatre group is celebrating its tenth anniversary. After many years of traveling, Colin Sinclair settled in Düsseldorf. There he has been working as a dance teacher and choreographer at Tanzhaus NRW since 2004. He is also an award-winning film director and CEO of his own clothing brand, Sinclair Wear.
The London-born artist is also responsible for this piece as author, producer and director. The talented international ensemble includes: Brianna Rigby (Australia), Derya Kaptan (Turkey), Aline Hamburgo (Brazil) and Vera Velich (Ukraine). The piece is about friendship, love and the search for acceptance and happiness. Conny, Melli, Sam and Lulu have been friends since childhood and have met once a year for 25 years. Time has been kind to them, it seems. However, they feel disillusioned and unfulfilled in their lives and are jealous of each other. At this annual meeting, their memories reveal hidden secrets, jealousy, resentment, homophobia and racism.
