THE WAVES
​​by Virginia Woolf 

Bernard’s words in the final chapter of The Waves crystallize the message of hope contained in Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking novel. 

 This lyrical, dreamy show follows every phase in the lives of a group of friends from childhood to adulthood and maturity as each of them strives to find their individual identity and bond with one another. 

The seventh friend, Percival, is their ideal: flawless, godlike, his virtues worshipped, himself revered. His passing is a milestone for every member of the group. Nothing can ever be the same after his death, and, in their early twenties, each of them has to re-invent himself or herself. In this performance, Percival enters the stage accompanied by a 15-member orchestra band. He or she – gender unknown - records the faces of his beloved friends on camera, until he or she dies, with the greatest of dignity, in a dance both heartrending and uplifting.

Growing old with friends and allowing yourself to be influenced by and defined through others is one of the most meaningful aspects of life. This is what Woolf’s magnificent poetic words tell us in Bernard’s retrospective narrative.
