Paranoia grips a bourgeois Colombo couple when a series of strange encounters interrupt their lives. From the outside, Kusal and Tania are the golden couple living in their brand new apartment in the newly gentrified Slave Island, but when Tania begins to notice an older woman stalking her and Kusal starts receiving several mysterious phone calls, they each begin to suspect their own indiscretions have come back to haunt them. Visited upon by Kusal's sister and her girlfriend, the interruptions begin to bleed into the events of the night, as the line between victim and predator becomes increasingly blurred.

CLOSE TO THE BONE is a collaboration between Arun Welandawe-Prematilleke and Isuru Kumarasinghe. A theatrical production and sound art piece combined. An immersive performance with a twist. Bring your phones and bring them charged; through them you will be allowed access inside each of the character's heads. Alongside the performance, you will be able to enter into their minds, hear their thoughts, memories and regrets.
