Four roommates. A table. A pile of dirty dishes that won’t be getting clean anytime soon.
What starts as petty arguments — Whose turn? Why me? I'll do it later! — spirals into a summoning. As tensions rise in the roommate’s apartment, a haunted portal opens inside their home but before anyone notices, two exhausted shadow monsters are dragged out of retirement to retell the stories of each roommate's gut wrenching, tear dripping, nose leaking excuse.
Through shadow puppetry, live soundscapes, and comedy, every bad reason is transformed into its own mythology. Strained friendships, work schedules, childhood memories, colonial legacies, precarious housing, expensive lifestyles— all crash together on stage.
In the Way Depths transforms a domestic dispute into a surreal shadow world where avoidance becomes monstrous, ridiculous, and painfully familiar. Humour and haunting share the same breath because sometimes the most honest thing you can do is watch your excuses turn into ghosts.
