Jacob Dwyer – Tom’s House
Sunday, 6 September⋅2:00 – 3:00pm
At 2pm this afternoon Jacob Dwyer visits an old friend’s house – only to find there’s nobody home.
In ‘Tom’s House’, we listen to the diaristic meanderings of a man who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of his old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage –making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space – he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.
Tom’s House is a one person performed audio-drama that incorporates voice, live foley, field recordings and an original soundtrack composed by K. Freund, Kareem Lotfy, Zuza Banasińska and Jacob Oostra. It was released earlier this year on Amsterdam/Paris based label, South of North.
