Karin Randoja in Breakfast

I learned a lot working with professional artists over the course of Silicone Diaries, and I knew I would learn even more if I observed the process from the outside again. I asked Brendan Healy if he would let me observe the remounting of The Independent Aunties’ Breakfast -both rehearsals and production meetings. Thanks to The Independent Aunties for letting me come aboard. I am very much looking forward to seeing your work.

“Utterly compelling … titillating and threatening” Xtra! Magazine

Nominated for 3 Dora Awards, Buddies is thrilled to present a remount of the Aunties’ highly acclaimed and unnervingly intimate production.

Meet Marnie, a woman trying out a self-help program in an attempt to “move ahead” in her life. The audience is invited to her kitchen, as voyeurs to Marnie’s morning rituals. “Randoja’s absorbing, fearless performance” (EYE Magazine) anchors this surreal and chilling encounter with one woman’s psyche, which takes an unflinching look at loneliness, self-delusion and our cultural obsession with self-help and personal transformation. You’ll never look at breakfast the same way again …
