This Bluebeard‘s Castle is a love story.
In this reimagined performance, originated by the Theatre of Sound in London, UK, Judith and Bluebeard are in love. Judith has dementia that is progressing. As they open the chest (open the doors), Judith unlocks memories, including women throughout the piece, which are, in fact, memories of her past self.
