HOW TO HOLD YOUR BREATH

About the show

Dana, a customer service agent, has a one-night stand with a man named Jarron, who later reveals himself to be a demon. This encounter sets Dana on a surreal journey across Europe with her sister, Jasmin, as they navigate a world that seems to be rapidly descending into chaos and destruction. Along the way, they encounter a host of characters, including a librarian, a doctor, and an enigmatic figure known as the Interviewer. Throughout the play, Harris explores themes of survival, morality, consumerism, and the collapse of societal structures. As Dana and Jasmin struggle to find their way in an increasingly hostile and unpredictable world, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of human nature and the consequences of their own actions. The play’s absurdist and dystopian elements serve as a powerful commentary on the fragility of modern society and the ways in which we are all complicit in its potential downfall.
