Synopsis
Roger, 25, has been cheerfully talking about moving into his own place for several years. He wants to be like his big brother, to see the world, be independent. To watch SpongeBob SquarePants and eat pizza with olives every night. But Roger has profound autism. A speaking actor and a dancer simultaneously portray Roger, and together they inhabit his unique world of sound and motion in all its exorbitance and minutia. The boundaries of language are porous as musicians “play” small roles. The past — funny, sad, frightening, dear — won’t stay put. One night, the move toward that vague but longed-for independence begins, off schedule but crystal clear, when a pleasant evening at home goes radically off the rails. Roger and his family, together, must now step through the next door.
