Sitting (In Silence)
Terracotta Productions • Semi-professional company
About the show
Terracotta Productions presents this haunting tragi-comedy inspired by true events. Set on a meditation retreat, it follows a father — loud, rebellious and charming in a way that has everyone rolling their eyes — and his daughter, as silence and humour collide. Starring Patrick O'Donnell and Kitty Falcon, the show asks whether brief moments of laughter and connection can ultimately save us. Created in partnership with Dad La Soul, Papyrus and Start The Conversation, it reflects honestly on what healing really means.
Why see this show?
A tragi-comedy with real emotional weight — drawn from true events and rooted in themes of family, healing and the silences between us. The interplay between a rebellious dad and his daughter promises both laughter and genuine reflection.
