| Description |
Subtitled 'An Architecture of Passion'. The subject is passion itself, the intense ties that bind one person to another. Presented as a family drama, The Dark Forest delves into relationships between close-to-adult children and their domineering father, and between the various family members and their sexual partners. Parallel with this narrative is a shadowy storyline, with a mythic skeleton of sin and sacrifice, ritual cleansing and celebration of the life force. |
