Review: AS LONG AS WE ARE BREATHING at the Arcola
By Stuart King Friday, January 31 2025, 10:47
A cloying pungency of lavender oil permeates the Arcola’s subterranean stairway (and your nostrils), long before you reach the playing area. As you enter, a man (Matthew James Hinchliffe) plays a calmly resonant percussion instrument, as though we are about to enjoy a collective massage. Our meditation on the Jewish condition begins with the reflections of an elderly woman Miriam (Caroline Gruber) who we learn survived her harrowing adolescence in Bratislava.
