She has dimples in her cheeks, and in the summer more freckles than I do. She has a penetrating gaze. With her eyes, she can look behind the gaze of others. You can see that yourself in the photo. The camera looks at her, and she looks back. Not carefree. Neither am I. But we smile at the camera because that’s how it goes in the 90s. She keeps me upright in the sand. And I her sometimes too. Mira Bryssinck explores with the intimate ‘Someone’s sister’ the impact of a disability on family life. Based on interviews with people with a disability and their siblings, intimate conversations with family members, clippings from old scrapbooks, and speaking documentary material, Mira investigates the gray zones between receiving care and providing care. How do you grow up with a disability next to a sibling without a disability? And how does such a disability shape a family? How does society look at this and in what way do families look back? This material forms the basis for a (fictional) narrative about two sisters. On stage, a cinematic and coming-of-age story unfolds, carried by drawings by Estelle Demaré and the music of RAMAN.
