The latest theatrical experience from Mason Holdings is Holiday House: Christmas Bends, the story of an oddly ageless child who returns to the many Christmas’ of her past (and includes a pre-show holiday party with glug, Christmas cookies and Santa).

We meet the child alone in the confines of her little room, sharing her space, her fantastical games, and all her remarkable imaginative resources. We see a mother, father, brother, and grandmother, but only as 8 and 16mm family film footage projected onto the walls of her room. And we hear the escalating strife of a tumultuous family, but only through the child, who acts as a vessel for their many voices.

Holiday House: Christmas Bends is both a darkly comedic experiential tour through phantom memories and a psychological study of how we experience childhood as outsiders, struggling to navigate and comprehend a world of deeply fallible adults. It is the gift of a strange and wondrous play date, and an unexpected visit with our own personal ghosts.

Running time is approximately 90 minutes
