Synopsis

Two hands, Glynid and Hynus, are trapped together indoors. As they talk, we learn that they are waiting for a virus wreaking havoc in the outer world. Glynid is an anxiety-riddled know–it–all who dogmatically follows ‘the science,’ while Hynus is an ignoramus whose nonsensical belligerence highlights their absurd situation. They argue over what precautions to take, what the statistics mean, and how to pass the time. Endless desperate moves ensue as the pair attend a virtual Shibari workshop, create pubic hair art, compose a virus-themed anthem, and partake in cleansings and poisonings, before remembering they have a child that they may have accidentally left outside. Deciding to leave to find the child, they stay.
This puppet show, drawing from Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, satirizes the Covid-19 era. Connected to the outside by a window that doubles as a screen, what begins as a waiting game soon unravels into paranoiac exchanges, conspiratorial musings, and bouts of reflection that lead to self–loathing in one hand and self–care in the other. As the objects that once held meaning to them disappear while they wait, a new reality grows around them, if only they had eyes to see it.
