“In theatre you never know what is going to happen next. Except that there will always be a bow at the end.”

In Playing Ensemble Again and Again six performers play a group in theatre. They start where most other groups finish: with a bow!

As they slowly move together through time and space, they think about the piece they have just performed. Step by step they (re)construct the lives they live(d) together.

Funny, dramatic and sad at the same time, Playing Ensemble Again and Again is a performance about getting together and falling apart.
