When you see a show at PACA, it's an immersive experience. The boundaries of set and stage seem to quickly fade away as you are close enough to the action to become fully engrossed in the storytelling. This intimate setting provides the perfect space to see Gidion's Knot, a thought-provoking play written by Johanna Adams.
Gidion's Knot is intense and takes place over the course of a parent/teacher conference. A grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion. Gidion may have been bullied severely — or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability.
