My overall impression
Very engaging experience of pure and thoughtful theatre.
Charmingly childish while being so strange and deep and dreamlike….
Performed with such joy and mastership in the perfect technique of the “poor theatre”, i.e. without any decorations or costuming, which enforces our imagination to do the work,- the short episodes where “one of the characters is a tree” stir some subtle and forgotten field of personal and undefined meanings…Remember that branch that touched your forehead almost as a human? remember that guy who looked at you as if he wanted to say something but kept silence? all that store of the myriads of connections with nature, with surroundings, with our own life that we keep passing by…
The 4 funny, amazing stories (written by 4 playwrights and played by 4 actors) shift the compass of our mind into the subconscious area where the divisions between people, animals, plants, objects are not so obvious and where the hidden source of any Theatre or Dream is to be found. Empowered by its transformation, we come out smiling.
