A performance made for 4 theatres in Holland: Grand Theater Groningen, Rotterdamse Schouwburg, De Vorst Tilburg, Frascati/Nes Theaters Amsterdam.

In each of these theatars, during a week long working period another version of the same theme was realized. New space and a guest-performer [each location had one new guest-performer] provided new impusles to the working process.

The theme of the performance is wish for harmony and communication and our common inability to realize this wish. In an ambiance of hindered irritation and discomfort, despite of everything, performers are trying to sing a song or to dance a dance.

The melancholy is soft and the anger is personal.

Choreographed & directed by Tamara Huilmand. Light design by Gert Bakker. Performed by Irma Baatje, Rob Bakker, Tamara Huilmand, Herwig Hegens, Peter Kho Sien Kie, Joris van Midde, Kristien van Reusel, Herman Rieken, Marcel Roelffema.
