Are we li­ving - or just dre­aming?

Are we li­ving - or just ac­ting out of ha­bit?

We try to find our­se­lves be­twe­en no­ise and si­len­ce, be­twe­en im­pul­se and fa­ti­gue. A gro­up of pe­ople from dif­fe­rent ge­ne­ra­tions meet in a post-in­du­strial spa­ce, whe­re echo­es re­ver­be­ra­te dif­fe­ren­tly than when in­si­de the the­atre. They have one thing in com­mon: the need to stop and re­set - to find some hid­den “de­fault set­ting” of hu­ma­ni­ty.

The work-in-pro­gress per­for­man­ce cre­ated by the In­ter­ge­ne­ra­tio­nal The­atre Gro­up is a ri­tu­al com­po­si­tion of mo­ve­ment, so­und, word and body, that cuts thro­ugh eve­ry­day life like a deep pau­se. It is not a li­ne­ar sto­ry, but a jo­int expe­rien­ce - in­ten­se and phy­si­cal - born out of the ten­sions be­twe­en in­di­vi­du­ali­ty and col­lec­ti­vi­ty.

In the­se days, when the pace of life im­po­ses an al­go­ri­thm of lo­ne­li­ness, play­ed out si­mul­ta­ne­ously in all ge­ne­ra­tions, this mo­ment of co-pre­sen­ce be­co­mes an act of de­fian­ce. The spa­ce - raw and non-the­atri­cal - re­so­na­tes with the mo­ve­ment which is not aimed at any goal, but to­wards pre­sen­ce.
