Where Is Anton
WHERE IS ANTON by Kiki Dranias.
WHERE IS ANTON by Kiki Dranias is a layer-driven story about how a profound trauma plays third wheel in a couple’s relationship.
Through the notion of the twin infinity, the non-linear play explores themes of personal trauma, marital dynamics, and one’s own conciliation with the disillusionment of age and money.
WHERE IS ANTON written and directed by Kiki Dranias premiered in Montreal in June 2021 at MainLine Theatre during the Montreal 30th Fringe Festival. Six sold-out performances were presented live and featured Kelly Craig and Anton Koval. The play was written during the pandemic in 2021 and was produced by Purple Divine.
With the desire to present a live show during covid, without having to wear masks or measure social-distance during rehearsals and performances, Kiki wrote a story in a week about a couple, and hired real-life couple actors Kelly & Anton. Rehearsals were done at home in a ‘bubble’ and all shows were performed in front of audiences without masks or any measured distance on stage. #theatreréal
WHERE IS ANTON is a Pinteresque break-up drama featuring big meaty performances from Kelly Craig & Anton Koval. The answer to its title provides an emotionally wrenching twist…” - Jim Burke, Montreal Gazette Theatre Critic
