CO’STUFF /EST-RU/
´IN’NO’SENSE´ /premiere!/



This performance is dealing with issues which arise when you try to stay yourself on stage. How to avoid adopting different roles and hiding behind them? How to bring yourself on stage with your own disadvantages, fears and sincere reactions? On stage artists are building a space, where audience can see only what the artists allow there to happen. Still, they are aware of a possibility of something interrupting and, as a result, they losing control over the situation. Young Estonian-Russian artists try to answer questions like:

What happens if you watch TV without switching it on?
What happens if you buy a karaoke CD and never sing to it?
How to use a DVD player if the TV-set lives its own life?
How to react if you are being watched?
How to react to the fact that certain situations and circumstances control your life?

There are no guaranties that answers will be found or exist at all.
