Theatre of the Tender completes a trilogy of films. As with Sensorium Tests and At the Threshold, Theatre of the Tender is inspired by mirror-touch synaesthesia, the neurological phenomenon in which observed touch to other bodies and objects is palpably felt. The film implicitly and explicitly asks questions around the meaning of created images, shared languages, and communities. From a theatre workshop based on Augosto Boal's 'Theatre of the Oppressed' techniques, we depart to watch two individuals navigating solitude, one in the mountains and the other in the city's underground.
