Home Suite

Home Suite is a live art Installation that explores the nature of domestic habit and routine.

That which usually takes place behind closed doors is revealed as a chorus of seven identical females negotiate seven houses over the course of a week, charting the evolution of a marriage and the fate of romance.

The home becomes the focus of a new relationship; offering its own form of romance, its comforts and rewards. It calls for a full investment, both physical and emotional. But ultimately it betrays.

The habits and rituals, chores and routines, the day planned, are not life, they are irrelevant to life and distract from living. Conversely, perhaps perversely, they offer a distraction from the fear of discovering there is no longer anything else.

It is here that Home Suite's characters find themselves, trying to find the sense in their situation, trying on various roles that fall between archetype and stereotype. Can they be saved by the nostalgic aura of the perfect housewife or will they become further trapped?

Home Suite by Katharine Fry will be taking place in various venues throughout May and June.
