Title: Fireface
Presented By: The Velvet Collective & PiP Theatre
Genre: Drama / Contemporary Theatre
Synopsis: In a seemingly ordinary middle‑class household, teenage siblings Kurt and Olga share a closeness that goes well beyond what their parents understand. The parents, absorbed in their own routines and distractions, fail to grasp the depths of their children’s alienation. Meanwhile, Kurt becomes obsessed with fire‑making and destruction; Olga, restless and searching for identity and desire, reaches beyond the family orbit. When Paul enters the mix, the fragile equilibrium unravels quickly. Tensions build, desires collide, and the family home becomes a
battle ground for rebellion, obsession and disintegration. This family is about to explode.
