80 Steps is a comic, bizarre slice of life. The three main characters inhabit an apartment 80 steps above street level. They are a retired general, his wife and his elderly sister. They have one daughter and a male housekeeper.
The play revolves around the themes of old age, retirement, tolerance of others, and the acceptance of one’s life and death. The three main characters are eccentric and behave in startling ways. Old Egyptian movies, electric cables, medicines and lots of socks occupy this family’s dreamlike space. The spectator will be dragged into this family’s life and experience their emotional interdependence, which is always steeped in love. The outcome is a black comedy that is absurd and touching at the same time.
Everyone is sure to find something in this magical, amusing and fantastic journey of self-discovery.
