Cottage Cheese Noodles with Cracklings

Summary/Abstract: Cottage cheese noodles are best made by grandmothers. The taste of the dish reminds Simi, the protagonist of the play, of his childhood, when the people she cared about could still talk to each other. A mother, her son, two grandmothers and a father about whom nothing is known for sure. Simi has to grow up listening to the grievances of his mother, Bori, and his grandmother, Mici, sharing his home with a new father-to-be. Like him, we are simultaneously present in both Mici’s and Bori’s apartment, trying to decide whom to believe. Years go by, and in the end, stuck between two doors, we find that there is nowhere to go home to.
